The Glenn Beck Program - Coke Says Be Less White ｜ Guests： Joe Bastardi & James Kitchen ｜ 2⧸22⧸21

00:00:00.000 Our sponsor this half hour is Bilt Bar.

00:00:02.140 I just had one this morning.

00:00:03.780 Man, they are good.

00:00:04.820 They are so good and perfect for snacks or if you're running in between meals or whatever.

00:00:13.540 It's what my wife lives on. 0.56

00:00:15.100 And unlike us, she looks good.

00:00:18.540 She is getting so skinny.

00:00:23.480 I mean, but she's in shape. 0.77

00:00:24.920 She's in shape.

00:00:25.820 Muscle, muscle, muscle.

00:00:26.740 Yeah, I know.

00:00:27.680 It's annoying.

00:00:28.560 You better watch out.

00:00:29.320 She'll beat the snot out of you. 1.00

00:00:30.640 If she ever finds out about...

00:00:31.840 Well, I don't want to bring it up.

00:00:33.820 Thank you.

00:00:34.540 Bilt Bar, get your resolution fulfilled.

00:00:38.160 Lose weight.

00:00:38.780 Feel great.

00:00:39.740 It tastes amazing.

00:00:41.800 It's a protein bar.

00:00:42.780 Really healthy.

00:00:43.760 BiltBar.com uses real chocolate.

00:00:45.940 Use the promo code BECK for 20% off your next order.

00:00:48.920 BiltBar.com promo code BECK.

00:00:50.700 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:18.160 This is the Glendike Program.

00:01:24.120 Yeah.

00:01:25.300 Finally, relief is on its way, America.

00:01:28.360 And nothing spells COVID relief quite like a $100 million underground electric train for Silicon Valley.

00:01:36.500 I mean, that's what America's been screaming for the whole time.

00:01:40.680 We've got to get back to normal.

00:01:42.900 Could we please get a $100 million electric train for Silicon Valley?

00:01:47.660 You know?

00:01:48.620 With federal funds.

00:01:50.040 Because Silicon Valley, that is a struggling area of the United States.

00:01:55.500 It's not like, you know, one guy could put in a train himself.

00:01:59.960 It's not like that at all.

00:02:01.820 We need government money to be able to do that.

00:02:04.780 Well, good news.

00:02:05.660 The Democrats are on it.

00:02:07.540 And your $100 million electric train, Silicon Valley, thank goodness your COVID relief is just about in the mail.

00:02:15.240 The Glendike Program.

00:02:20.760 We've got a lot to talk about coming up in just a second and some perspective on the news.

00:02:27.060 American Financing is our sponsor.

00:02:28.960 For the last year or so, I've been telling you, if you're a homeowner, you need to consider a refinance of your mortgage as soon as possible.

00:02:34.600 Because the historically low mortgage rates that we're experiencing won't last forever.

00:02:39.400 And it's true. 0.56

00:02:40.520 The market is tricky.

00:02:42.180 Sea change is on the way.

00:02:45.020 And if you're somebody who is fiscally responsible, or even if you're someone who'd like to be more fiscally responsible,

00:02:50.280 now is the time to make a difference in your own future and that of your family.

00:02:55.420 Take a little time today.

00:02:56.460 Give American Financing a call.

00:02:57.920 Just give them a little bit of your time to find out what they can do to help you get in the best possible financial footing.

00:03:04.880 You're prepared, then, no matter what comes down the pike. 0.99

00:03:08.080 Maybe that means refinancing your mortgage, getting a little lower interest rate.

00:03:11.820 Maybe it means bundling your debt together into one manageable monthly payment that could end up saving you hundreds, if not $1,000 or more, every month.

00:03:21.020 It's American Financing.

00:03:22.320 800-906-2440.

00:03:30.380 www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

00:03:33.960 Thank goodness.

00:03:38.280 Nancy Pelosi is here to rescue the day.

00:03:41.280 We have the $1.9 trillion COVID relief legislation.

00:03:46.580 Thank goodness.

00:03:49.840 Thank goodness.

00:03:50.400 It does.

00:03:51.740 No.

00:03:52.180 Well, let me just.

00:03:53.900 Let me just say this.

00:03:58.060 The platform of the DNC back in July.

00:04:03.240 No sacrifice is too great for the American public to endure if it means getting more Democrats elected to office.

00:04:12.400 Now, that's the way I read it.

00:04:14.100 That's the way I read it.

00:04:15.240 Day 31 of the Biden administration.

00:04:18.300 We get the 591-page bill the Democrats are proposing to act into law.

00:04:23.380 Buried in the text of the legislation is a section from the House Transportation Committee to fund $30 billion for transit systems to prepare, to prevent, and to respond to coronavirus.

00:04:36.300 Wait, to prepare, to prevent, and respond to coronavirus, $30 billion for new transit systems.

00:04:50.240 Can you do the math on that one?

00:04:52.360 Because I'm trying really hard.

00:04:57.880 Maybe the vaccines will come via train, underground train.

00:05:01.760 Is that what it is?

00:05:03.260 The bill funds a billion dollars for projects under Section 305B of public law, the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act.

00:05:11.360 That section created a pilot program to fast-track federal funds on projects, meaning certain specifications that has been using in applications for funding for the Bay Area Rapid Transit system for Silicon Valley.

00:05:24.140 Looks like the bill and other related documents, the new relief bill, will provide BART with about $112 million in funding for the continuation of the 6.5-mile extension from its current terminus in Militas, whatever that is, down to San Jose, then back to the city of Santa Clara.

00:05:51.260 Oh, my goodness.

00:05:52.260 So they're going to, for $112 million, Silicon Valley is going to get another 6.5 miles out of it, which, you know, in California, you couldn't bike ride.

00:06:04.260 You know, you really couldn't.

00:06:05.900 You couldn't do that.

00:06:06.780 You couldn't walk 6.5 miles.

00:06:09.980 That's for sure.

00:06:11.220 You need the underground.

00:06:12.420 You couldn't get into your electric car and drive it.

00:06:15.740 No, you have to have that 6.5 extra miles, you know, for COVID reasons.

00:06:21.640 I'm speaking specifically for COVID.

00:06:24.320 Well, nothing cures COVID more than getting everybody inside of a little tube in close contact and breathing all over each other.

00:06:34.540 That's great for COVID.

00:06:35.680 Yeah.

00:06:35.880 Now, also, in the bill, they have the $15 minimum wage, which I think, again, is what America said.

00:06:45.460 When we first donned our mask, we said, 15 days to slow the curve and $15 an hour.

00:06:52.680 That's what I was thinking.

00:06:53.820 I don't know about you.

00:06:54.720 I was thinking, if we're going to slow the curve in 15 days, we need a $15 minimum wage.

00:07:00.720 And thank goodness Nancy Pelosi is there.

00:07:05.820 The bill also includes $1,400 stimulus checks for individuals earning less than $75,000 a year, married couples earning less than $150,000 a year.

00:07:16.560 The amount decreases for individuals and couples earning over those amounts.

00:07:22.520 So we have that, including $350 billion in federal funding for states and localities, as well as $400 in weekly federal unemployment benefits on top of state benefits.

00:07:36.840 So I think that's, you know, I think that's, that's wonderful.

00:07:40.740 That means we're going to be bailing out the states of California, New York, Illinois, which I think is wonderful.

00:07:50.200 I think it's wonderful.

00:07:51.620 You know, they shouldn't have to worry about the bill that they racked up, don't you think?

00:07:55.580 Oh, no.

00:07:56.160 I mean, I think we should.

00:07:57.640 That's our fault.

00:07:58.400 I think us in the, that's our fault in the red states. 0.85

00:08:00.820 Yeah, it is.

00:08:01.960 For forcing them.

00:08:02.300 It is.

00:08:02.760 For fairness reasons to implement all these policies that have ruined their society.

00:08:06.220 Thank you.

00:08:07.420 Thank you for that.

00:08:08.400 Now, $15 wage.

00:08:11.540 I know as a small business man myself, I know that the thing you need when you're really struggling is the government to come in and say, you need to increase wages.

00:08:23.620 That is the best recipe for success.

00:08:27.180 You know, when you're like barely making it and can't bear, you just barely can keep the doors open.

00:08:33.080 And when the government comes in and says, yeah, I need you to add at least $5 an hour to all of the employees that are working for minimum wage.

00:08:40.620 You say, thank God the government is really here to help.

00:08:44.040 They are here to help.

00:08:45.560 Now, now, sometimes progressive congressmen or any congressman, for that matter, will say things that everybody knows they're thinking, but they don't really usually come out and say it.

00:09:03.200 Representative Kana has has come out.

00:09:07.620 And here's what he said on the $15 minimum wage.

00:09:11.740 Well, of course, large businesses like Amazon and McDonald's, for example, can can and perhaps should pay more.

00:09:19.060 But I'm wondering, what is your plan for smaller businesses?

00:09:23.040 How does this, in your view, affect mom and pop businesses who are just struggling to keep their doors open, keep workers on the payroll right now?

00:09:30.740 Well, they shouldn't be doing it by paying people low wages.

00:09:33.800 We don't want low wage businesses.

00:09:36.100 I think most successful small businesses can pay a fair wage.

00:09:40.220 If you look at the minimum wage, it increased with worker productivity until 1968.

00:09:45.040 And that relationship was severed.

00:09:46.620 If workers were actually getting paid for the value they were creating, it would be up to $23.

00:09:51.620 So I love small businesses.

00:09:53.360 I'm all for it.

00:09:54.380 But I don't want small businesses that are underpaying employees.

00:09:58.420 Ah, OK.

00:09:59.600 Well, you can solve that problem for you because they're all going to go away.

00:10:01.740 You won't need them.

00:10:02.600 You won't need them.

00:10:03.240 All the small businesses and, great thing, all of the minimum wage jobs.

00:10:07.140 Yeah.

00:10:07.560 Like, you are going to see kiosk after kiosk in most small businesses or places like McDonald's.

00:10:14.520 They can afford it because they can afford to buy the kiosk, which will eventually pay for itself and doesn't require, you know, health insurance or anything else.

00:10:26.240 So McDonald's can, yes, they can afford the $15 minimum wage just to fix the kiosk.

00:10:32.860 They can, you know, they can.

00:10:34.540 And what's interesting about that is they just did a study on this, on McDonald's specifically, this exact corporation they're talking about.

00:10:40.860 And the way they, quote unquote, afford it is to pass on 100% of the increases in the wages to the consumers.

00:10:49.880 100% not 50%, 100%.

00:10:53.980 So the people who are going to McDonald's, which generally speaking are fat guys like me and Glenn and people who maybe have a cost concern.

00:11:02.020 Right.

00:11:02.380 Those people get to pay more.

00:11:05.580 That's great.

00:11:06.080 More for the same product.

00:11:07.520 That's great.

00:11:07.980 And it doesn't add to the food desert at all.

00:11:09.920 No.

00:11:10.480 No, not at all.

00:11:11.480 Not at all.

00:11:12.100 Because they'll have the kiosk.

00:11:13.640 So your kid won't be able to have a job at Subway or, you know, McDonald's or anything else because those jobs will be eliminated or those jobs will go to adults, you know, that don't go. 0.97

00:11:26.040 What?

00:11:26.840 What's your order?

00:11:29.520 I can't hear you.

00:11:32.120 You know, it doesn't go to those people.

00:11:33.720 If you're paying $15 an hour, you might expect a little higher quality than a pimple-faced, angry kid might give you.

00:11:42.220 Yeah.

00:11:42.440 And then they'll never learn to work.

00:11:44.400 And this has rippling effects throughout our society.

00:11:46.600 I also love the point where he's like, look, you know, I just think successful small businesses can afford to pay their people minimum wage or a living wage.

00:11:54.700 Well, okay.

00:11:55.240 Let's just say, for example, some, certainly some could.

00:11:58.760 Right.

00:11:58.960 Yeah.

00:11:59.060 Certainly.

00:11:59.340 But, like, are we only keeping the businesses that are thriving in the middle of the pandemic?

00:12:05.820 Like, there's a lot of companies that are not successful right at this moment.

00:12:09.180 Yeah.

00:12:09.460 So what does it mean for them?

00:12:10.920 Wait, wait.

00:12:11.400 I'm trying to get my arms around that.

00:12:12.920 What's making them not successful right now?

00:12:15.900 Is it?

00:12:16.200 Democrats have closed all their businesses.

00:12:18.080 Oh.

00:12:18.380 Largely.

00:12:19.140 Okay.

00:12:19.500 And also we have a global pandemic.

00:12:21.080 And a lot of people don't want to go out to do these things.

00:12:23.840 All right.

00:12:24.140 I was just thinking that it was that they weren't hiring $15 an hour workers.

00:12:28.080 No.

00:12:28.100 So what's interesting is the whole justification for the $1.9 trillion.

00:12:33.500 Right.

00:12:33.860 Is it in mission that these small businesses are not doing well?

00:12:37.740 Huh.

00:12:38.160 And that employees don't have jobs.

00:12:39.640 Well, that and the train.

00:12:40.480 So to do something that will hurt, well, the train too, obviously.

00:12:44.000 I mean, you need the train.

00:12:45.040 I'm saying the public justification.

00:12:46.420 I mean, how are those workers in Silicon Valley getting to work other than on that underground train?

00:12:53.560 You got to have the underground train.

00:12:55.000 You have to have that.

00:12:55.560 You got to have it.

00:12:56.240 You have to have that.

00:12:56.840 But like the idea is we need $1.9 trillion because number one, these businesses are struggling.

00:13:02.960 Number two, people are out of work.

00:13:04.720 So the solution to that is a $15 minimum wage will have less people in work and more struggles for these businesses.

00:13:10.400 Now, this is weird that you would bring this up because I've got a couple of other pieces that might explain some of this.

00:13:19.500 Really?

00:13:20.180 Yeah, I do.

00:13:21.120 I do.

00:13:21.460 I don't understand.

00:13:22.380 Well, give me a minute.

00:13:23.620 Hang on.

00:13:24.180 We're going to take a quick minute break.

00:13:25.760 And then we're coming right back with an explanation.

00:13:30.180 Of course, probably a conspiracy theory coming up in just a second.

00:13:34.120 Stand by right now.

00:13:35.440 Patriot Mobile.

00:13:36.320 Probably the piece of technology you use the most throughout the day is your cell phone, whether it's calling or texting or posting your latest kitchen creations to social media throughout the day.

00:13:46.920 You're using that phone for all kinds of things, which means, of course, that you're shelling out money and you're putting it into the pockets or of somebody.

00:13:56.240 And they're supposed to give you a service back, right?

00:13:59.440 That's what you counted on.

00:14:01.100 But who is that somebody that you're putting money in the pockets of?

00:14:04.920 If it's one of the big mobile companies like Verizon, you're giving money not only to Verizon, but Verizon has taken some of your money and giving it to leftist causes that you would never contribute in everyday life.

00:14:17.380 You're funding probably Black Lives Matter. 0.99

00:14:19.620 I know you're funding, you know, pro-abortion activities and Planned Parenthood.

00:14:26.360 Well, do you want to keep doing that?

00:14:27.860 Or do you want to stand with the people who are giving you a great service at a better price and not doing that?

00:14:36.080 In fact, shoring up things, taking a portion of their profits and putting it towards things like the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the right to life, you know, those kinds of things.

00:15:04.500 That's patriotmobile.com slash BECK or call 972-PATRIOT.

00:15:09.320 10 seconds, station ID.

00:15:14.140 Now.

00:15:19.240 Wow.

00:15:19.680 Wow.

00:15:21.800 Governor Gavin Newsom has plans to vaccinate school staff more quickly, you know, more quickly than, well, right now they have in the warehouses about 4 million vaccinations just in California, not being touched right now.

00:15:40.760 Because, you know, you got to make an appointment, you know, you have to be a special person.

00:15:47.340 It's not like you could just open up the floodgates and say everybody can get a vaccination now because we're making 3 million vaccinations every single day.

00:15:56.760 Everybody should have a vaccination.

00:15:58.960 No, no, no.

00:15:59.760 They want to do it a different way.

00:16:01.620 So it's taking, yes, a little longer.

00:16:05.260 But, hey, it's not like the economy is affected or children are affected at all.

00:16:11.320 Well, the California Teachers Association, the second largest school district, is continuing their negotiations on when they can come back to school.

00:16:24.020 And they're like, not sure.

00:16:25.240 They're not sure.

00:16:25.820 Everybody has to be vaccinated before those teachers feel safe, which is weird because it's not what the science says.

00:16:32.420 You know, follow the science, and you'd think teachers who are always lecturing us about science, that that would play a role.

00:16:42.020 You know what's better than a vaccination, though, I've found?

00:16:43.840 What?

00:16:45.240 Getting paid for not working.

00:16:47.840 Yeah.

00:16:48.240 That is awesome.

00:16:49.780 You know what's better than negotiations?

00:16:51.920 Hmm.

00:16:52.580 Firing them all.

00:16:54.100 Hmm.

00:16:54.660 Yeah.

00:16:55.560 Yeah.

00:16:56.340 How would they get paid without working if you fired them?

00:16:58.340 They're going to be a $15 minimum wage, and they'll be able to look for that job on that new six-and-a-half-mile train.

00:17:04.640 So, honestly, fire the teachers.

00:17:09.040 Time to fire the teachers.

00:17:11.280 Well, these in California, they had a big parade, a car parade.

00:17:16.960 Oh, that's good.

00:17:17.560 Yeah, on Saturday, and a big press conference, and it's wonderful.

00:17:22.400 Now, our kids, you know, don't worry about the kids, you know, or really any of the facts.

00:17:29.240 Drug deaths have jumped 25% in the last year.

00:17:35.860 About 7% of the U.K. children have attempted suicide.

00:17:40.420 7%, and they have another, what is it, self-harm is like another 24%.

00:17:52.940 24% of children in the U.K. have inflicted harm on themselves in the last year.

00:18:00.580 But don't worry about it.

00:18:02.060 Don't worry about it.

00:18:02.960 Let's not think about the kids.

00:18:04.200 Japan has a record high, 479 schoolchildren that committed suicide during COVID.

00:18:13.760 But don't, again, don't worry about any of that.

00:18:18.340 We can't get back to normal.

00:18:20.220 We can't open up these schools until the teachers feel completely 100% safe.

00:18:26.740 Now, let me give you a couple of ideas of what's happening here.

00:18:31.840 Israel is way ahead of everybody. 0.97

00:18:36.920 Israel, smaller country, but they have made vaccinations, you know, a priority, and they're getting it done.

00:18:44.300 Israel has raced ahead the fastest COVID vaccination campaign in the world.

00:18:50.260 Already, half of their population has at least one dose.

00:18:55.380 But here's the thing that really bothered me.

00:18:57.960 Well, let me give you good news.

00:18:59.440 In Israel, they just voted last week to open shopping malls, museums, back to the public, subject to social distancing, blah, blah, blah.

00:19:10.120 And gyms, cultural sports events, hotels, swimming pools also reopening now in Israel because they have half the population inoculated.

00:19:20.500 We're saying now that even after inoculation, no, you can't go do anything.

00:19:27.480 That's ridiculous.

00:19:29.220 So dumb.

00:19:29.700 It is absolutely ridiculous.

00:19:31.260 And we all know it.

00:19:33.120 Why would I get vaccinated if I have to still stay in my house?

00:19:36.440 And that is exactly the problem, right?

00:19:39.340 You're communicating to the people like, well, you can go get a shot, but it's not going to do anything for you.

00:19:43.560 So what's the point?

00:19:44.900 You're incentivizing people not to do it.

00:19:47.480 The government should be running ads.

00:19:49.860 Hey, get your vaccination.

00:19:51.620 Within four weeks, none of this applies to you.

00:19:54.340 Exactly right.

00:19:55.240 Or whatever the timeline is.

00:19:56.800 You'd be doing it.

00:19:57.840 As soon as you hit that second shot, you no longer have to worry about anything.

00:20:03.840 You can go out and you can go to concerts.

00:20:06.560 You can go visit all your grandparents.

00:20:08.420 You can go, you don't have to wear a mask in stores.

00:20:12.020 That is what the messaging from the government should be.

00:20:17.080 Incentivize people to want to get this thing.

00:20:19.060 Instead, they're doing the opposite.

00:20:20.380 Here's one of the reasons why, what's coming our way.

00:20:25.020 Israel has a green badge system.

00:20:27.880 You would think that Israelis would stay away from badges, especially color badges. 1.00

00:20:33.640 But if you get your vaccination, you get a badge and a QR code and you can scan it and you can go do whatever you want.

00:20:45.640 If you've recovered from it or had the vaccine.

00:20:48.760 OK, but that is coming.

00:20:51.200 But that is also a way to track you.

00:20:54.400 Now, remember what they said about the $15 minimum wage.

00:20:57.540 They don't want some businesses.

00:20:59.880 That is also what is happening.

00:21:01.600 They are intentionally crushing the middle class, crushing the entrepreneur and trying to get them to, A, break their spirit and, B, get on to the government dole.

00:21:15.860 Which leads me to a story in the New York Times on the boredom economy.

00:21:22.420 People are so bored.

00:21:25.280 They are sitting at home and watching Netflix, etc., etc.

00:21:31.340 They are, according to the New York Times, I'm getting things delivered within a few hours of ordering them.

00:21:40.480 In terms of how it's affecting the economy, I don't know.

00:21:43.680 But we're wanting to buy more and more and more because so many of us are bored at home.

00:21:48.720 So we're online shopping.

00:21:50.260 So you're bored at home and they're seeing people because it'll be delivered sometimes the same day.

00:22:03.600 You just online shop and stay at home, which, of course, again, helps the small business person, doesn't it?

00:22:12.260 They have accelerated the technological shift and more is coming.

00:22:21.140 And it is a it's a fence built around you.

00:22:26.100 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:22:30.180 All right, then these days, probably the piece of technology that that you use.

00:22:40.000 I'm sorry, that's the last commercial I need to tell you about my Patriot supply slowly, but surely things are beginning to come back to normal here in Texas.

00:22:48.280 No matter what side of the aisle you're judging things from, the truth of the matter is that our area was not prepared for this kind of disaster.

00:22:58.420 We had corruption in our midst.

00:23:00.960 So what kind of disaster in your area are you not prepared for?

00:23:06.340 It's easy enough to ignore these things until they hit.

00:23:09.300 But I don't think you're that kind of person.

00:23:11.300 We didn't have to worry about the shelves on the supermarkets, which were literally bare.

00:23:17.200 It looked like Poland, mid-Soviet era.

00:23:21.180 There was nothing in the stores here.

00:23:23.440 Please check out my Patriot supply.

00:23:26.380 The food will stay fresh up 25 years in proper storage.

00:23:29.900 It's my Patriot supply dot com.

00:23:35.580 The kits will ship in one to two days and arrive discreetly at your door.

00:23:53.440 John Kerry has come out on Friday and said that the record cold temperatures we're seeing global warming.

00:24:08.660 I don't know how that works, but the guy who flies on private jets and has a mega yacht and several mansions, but he's different than all of us.

00:24:18.040 He says it is growing too late.

00:24:20.600 We now only have write this down on your calendars to now we have John Kerry giving us nine years.

00:24:28.900 So we have an official new clock, a new countdown, nine years to fix this.

00:24:35.320 So, OK, we got that down.

00:24:37.520 We got it.

00:24:38.560 No problem.

00:24:39.440 We only have nine years to fix it, and that's why it needs to be a cram down.

00:24:43.880 Now, some would say that, no, no, I don't think I'm going to buy that.

00:24:51.800 Some would say, no, I don't think the cold weather is because of global climate change, because Texas has had this kind of cold weather before.

00:25:02.440 It happens from time to time.

00:25:04.760 You know, but maybe it's just me.

00:25:08.240 But the world is waiting for America, even though reports now come out that.

00:25:16.100 About 230 miles east of Moscow, there is a there's a pack of dogs that have been discovered that their fur is blight, a bright blue.

00:25:30.820 Now, it could be that they've been hanging out around the chemical plant.

00:25:37.820 But Moscow doesn't know.

00:25:40.460 They have no idea.

00:25:41.560 There may be an entirely new species of dog that is bright blue.

00:25:46.780 But remember, America is the crap hole that is holding the rest of the world back.

00:25:53.300 Joe Bastardi is with us, and he is the chief forecaster at Weather Bell and also the author of The Weaponization of Weather in the Phony Climate War.

00:26:07.320 Boy, oh, boy, oh, boy.

00:26:09.280 Guess what he's going to say.

00:26:10.500 Hi, Joe.

00:26:12.260 Hi.

00:26:12.800 Who would have ever thought?

00:26:14.640 Hi, Stu.

00:26:15.520 Hi, Glenn.

00:26:16.260 Hi, Pat.

00:26:16.800 Hi, everybody.

00:26:18.840 You let in with John Kerry.

00:26:20.620 And I'm like, oh, man, you're just like waving a red flag in front of me.

00:26:25.380 Who would ever thought that John Kerry could be an advertisement for my book?

00:26:30.920 The whole book just counters that kind of there's actually a chapter on that, the weaponization of global the global temperature.

00:26:41.300 And, you know, I just I'm watching these statements and I can't believe it.

00:26:48.180 Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe.

00:26:49.840 We only have nine years now, and I know we had 10 years about 15 years ago, but this time we now have nine years to solve this thing.

00:27:01.200 Otherwise, we're doomed.

00:27:02.980 We're doomed.

00:27:03.680 And you saw what happened in Texas, right?

00:27:07.040 Yeah.

00:27:07.320 Yeah.

00:27:07.880 You better believe I saw what happened in Texas since we were my company was way out in front of it.

00:27:13.000 You know, we have major clients in Texas, construction companies.

00:27:17.000 And on February 10th, you know, as publicly as I could and as many people as I could contact.

00:27:24.080 You know, my dad used to say, if you have to tell someone you're good at something, you can't be that good at it.

00:27:29.560 Right.

00:27:29.780 But, you know, not everybody follows me or whatever.

00:27:33.900 On February 10th, we said category, the winter equivalent of a category five hurricane.

00:27:40.080 Most five-day extreme winter weather event in Texas history.

00:27:45.940 And I actually put the maps of 1899 on that infamous outbreak in 1899.

00:27:52.400 By the way, I'd like to question Senator Kerry.

00:27:55.980 How did that happen?

00:27:57.240 1899 with that outbreak and then the 1900 Galveston hurricane.

00:28:00.660 You can't get more extreme than those type of swings that were going on back then.

00:28:07.380 And the only thing I could say is that it must have been the horses that were adding whatever they were.

00:28:13.100 Oh, yeah.

00:28:13.400 Yeah.

00:28:13.900 The methane.

00:28:14.880 So wait.

00:28:15.800 So wait a minute.

00:28:16.360 You if I'm not mistaken, didn't you call the state officials and say, hey, guys, prepare.

00:28:22.780 Here it comes.

00:28:23.400 Well, what happened was, you know, I have contacts and one of the contacts is Sean Hannity, who forwarded my book.

00:28:32.860 And, you know, I was mailing Sean and everybody, Wayne Advance and Sean called Governor Cruz or Senator Cruz and Governor Abbott.

00:28:43.260 And Friday night, I got a I got a call from Senator Cruz and we talked for about a half hour.

00:28:49.340 And then we talked to talk with Governor Abbott and then the staffs of both staffs of Senator Cruz's staff Saturday morning to really try to get them ahead.

00:28:59.720 But by that time, it was sort of too late as far as what the state could do.

00:29:06.020 You needed a response starting four or five days away.

00:29:09.360 I actually tweeted that, Glenn, that this year and this was the middle of it was on Wednesday.

00:29:14.700 I tweeted that there should be a federal response the same way as preparation for a hurricane goes, a winter type response, getting that equipment in there, understanding that we were going to have the kind of freeze ups we were going to have.

00:29:30.180 And, you know, Saturday morning, I was digging into the Texas newspapers and I realized that they really didn't get it.

00:29:36.660 They were saying, oh, it's going to be cold, but we've had these kind of things before.

00:29:40.840 This was completely it was 1899.

00:29:44.580 It was was different from 83.

00:29:47.840 83 was a little bit colder in many places, but not as much snow in 83, the 83 outbreak.

00:29:55.720 Now, I know all this stuff because I have no life except the good Lord above my family and the weather.

00:30:02.100 So I go in and dig into all these maps.

00:30:04.840 My father's a meteorologist.

00:30:06.100 He taught me the foundation I stand on today was built yesterday to reach for tomorrow.

00:30:11.220 So if I know yesterday, if I see maps from yesterday, I said, wait a minute, that's showing up again.

00:30:17.900 Guess what's going to happen?

00:30:19.500 And the interesting thing about this is I do this because I love it.

00:30:23.920 This is what God made me to do.

00:30:25.400 So I'm going to do it as hard as I can.

00:30:27.340 And the second thing is it benefits my company.

00:30:30.320 Because what happens is everybody is just looking at the computer models and consensus and there are so many great forecasters out there.

00:30:37.900 But if you can add something more, something different and help people out with that, you add value to the product.

00:30:48.800 And then you see what happens.

00:30:50.260 All right.

00:30:50.480 So one of the things that you added, you said the three previous big freezes predicted this one.

00:30:58.900 Is that just from the maps, the computer models and the...

00:31:02.000 Well, yeah, there's certain things that go on.

00:31:04.880 There's certain signs that go on.

00:31:06.300 For instance, a week before the freeze, I have a couple of...

00:31:09.580 I'm not going to say their names.

00:31:10.960 They're meteorologists in Little Rock, Arkansas.

00:31:13.940 On Saturday night after I got out of church, we had a big map discussion.

00:31:17.880 They called me up and we were talking about this.

00:31:19.800 This is a week before.

00:31:21.220 And here's what they were confronted with.

00:31:23.060 They said, Joe, we're reading what you're saying.

00:31:25.080 You're referencing 83.

00:31:26.420 You're referencing 1899.

00:31:27.820 None of the computer models are predicting those numbers.

00:31:32.060 You know, they're all 50 and a low of 35 and things like that.

00:31:35.980 And so we went over the whole thing.

00:31:38.180 And there's a certain type of way that Texas gets really cold.

00:31:43.200 You need the Arctic ridge of high pressure run from Montana down to Midland.

00:31:48.160 And what happens is it's high pressure that actually causes Texas to get brutally cold.

00:31:53.700 You get the buildup of low-level, cold, dense air in the northern plains and it oozes southward.

00:31:59.640 There are these small pulses that come in.

00:32:01.780 And one of the biggest things that was going on, folks, was that the run-up to this, the Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday period,

00:32:10.160 the computer-generated numbers were busting horribly one day away.

00:32:14.780 They were predicting a high of 50 and it would be 40, high of 40, it would be 28.

00:32:19.140 And what happens is if you're – let's say you're automating your load estimates if you're an energy company,

00:32:27.140 and you're saying, well, we're going to use this computer model that says it's going to be 50.

00:32:31.680 Well, guess what's going to happen if you're in Dallas?

00:32:34.480 It's going to be day after day after day of buildup of error.

00:32:38.060 And then what happens when the real cold – the strongest –

00:32:41.420 So how can our models be this wrong and yet they say they can predict what's coming in nine years?

00:32:49.460 They can't.

00:32:50.240 They're tools.

00:32:51.000 And I talk about that in my book.

00:32:53.540 I think people should get the – I know it sounds like I'm shamelessly plugging the book,

00:32:58.480 but it's almost as if the book was written for what's going on now.

00:33:03.480 I didn't know Joe Biden was going to be president when I wrote that book.

00:33:07.040 And yet I wrote it because I felt there was something to say and alert people to about the weaponization of this situation.

00:33:15.840 No, the models are tools to use.

00:33:18.760 See, they're not the answers.

00:33:20.420 They're ways to get answers.

00:33:21.940 They're outstanding ways to get answers.

00:33:24.340 But you've got to know, based on what happened in the past in comparisons, how to use them and when to use them.

00:33:31.640 And it's a matter of weighting.

00:33:33.320 It's a matter of what we call attribution.

00:33:35.080 And that's the problem with the climate, the guys on the climate side of the issue.

00:33:39.200 I see what they're saying.

00:33:41.300 I have a lot of good people on that side of the issue.

00:33:43.580 They've done great research.

00:33:45.240 I read their stuff all the time.

00:33:46.760 I want to know what they know, not what I know.

00:33:48.840 I can't increase what I know unless I hear from someone else.

00:33:52.040 So what happens is they look at one thing and put all their eggs in one basket.

00:33:57.760 When you have all these models, all these what we call analogs of the past, the physical drivers of the atmosphere at that time, you have to decide as a human being, as a forecaster, try to do a service for your client or whoever, how to weight them.

00:34:16.100 Is this stronger than this one?

00:34:18.060 How do you blend them together?

00:34:19.620 And that that takes a lot of dirty work.

00:34:22.400 You know, there's a saying that will everybody has a will to win, but the will to prepare to win is what counts.

00:34:28.840 And it's preparation.

00:34:30.360 It's no different.

00:34:31.300 I used to wrestle at Penn State.

00:34:32.600 It's no different than what we were taught on the wrestling mat, except we do it with the weather in my company, where it's just constant, constant looking at things.

00:34:41.220 So anyway, Joe, I hope that doesn't sound too pop.

00:34:44.580 No, no, it doesn't.

00:34:45.860 Thank you, because I know your record.

00:34:47.280 It doesn't.

00:34:48.240 Joe Bastardi, his book is called The Weaponization of Weather in the Phony Climate War.

00:34:55.120 Probably a really good book to bone up on because we are entering a new battle and a new era.

00:35:03.060 And it is this one is powerful.

00:35:05.280 This one, they say it is going to be done and we will be in a Green New Deal. 0.91

00:35:12.040 The weaponization of weather in the phony climate war.

00:35:15.000 Joe Bastardi, thank you so much, Joe.

00:35:19.960 All right.

00:35:22.860 You know what's worse than the beginning of the house selling and house buying process?

00:35:26.940 The end of it, because if you don't do it right on the house selling end, you're going to end up with a lot less than your house is worth or might be worth.

00:35:35.280 If you don't get the right real estate agent on the buying end, you don't want to be on the end with getting a house that you thought you really wanted and then you got ripped off with it or the house that you settled for.

00:36:26.360 The Guardian has reported now that NHS figures, this is from Great Britain, released last week, show that in the five weeks since the third lockdown began,

00:36:44.580 COVID-19 accounted for 65% of deaths of people with learning disabilities.

00:36:50.660 65% of deaths, learning disabilities from COVID.

00:36:57.720 Office for the National Statistics show that the rate for the general population was only 39%.

00:37:04.520 So what's going on here?

00:37:08.080 Well, that was the question that the England's Care Quality Commission looked into, and they found that nurses, doctors had put do not resuscitate orders on the charts.

00:37:29.960 So if you had a learning disability, you didn't get resuscitated.

00:37:38.320 That may be part of the problem when doctors or nurses are putting that on your files.

00:37:45.980 This is phenomenal to me, if true, if true.

00:37:54.300 It's again, people who think they know better.

00:37:58.700 They think they know who's worthy, who's not.

00:38:02.780 And they decide for them.

00:38:07.280 You're not worthy of living.

00:38:09.720 You are.

00:38:11.640 This is a progressive model.

00:38:14.020 It's a socialist model.

00:38:16.420 But it is also a model that we warned you about when there's shortages of care.

00:38:22.260 When there's shortages of care, somebody has to make the decision on who lives and who dies.

00:38:29.620 And people say, well, that's not fair that we're doing it with money.

00:38:33.760 Okay, it's not fair.

00:38:35.200 But is it fair to do it because people have learning disabilities or they're mentally slow in one way or another? 0.97

00:38:45.400 Is that fair?

00:38:47.340 Is that what we should be doing?

00:38:49.080 When there's shortages, people have to make those decisions.

00:38:56.360 And I know money's not fair.

00:39:01.640 But at least some handicapped people will have money or their families will have money. 0.99

00:39:09.740 And so you're not going to weed all of them out because some government bureaucrat says, you know what?

00:39:14.360 They're not worth saving.

00:39:15.420 Not to mention, of course, when wealthy people purchase things early in their cycle or when they're expensive, they wind up paying for other people to use them later on.

00:39:24.940 No, that's not.

00:39:25.340 Makes the technology cheaper.

00:39:27.520 We know this from everything from big screen TVs.

00:39:29.700 Do you remember your first big screen TV?

00:39:31.380 Shut up. 0.95

00:39:32.320 Yes, I do.

00:39:33.020 Glenn paid more than the entire GDP of Madagascar for a flat screen TV.

00:39:38.800 My wife did.

00:39:39.600 It was a Sony Trinitron, the first flat screen to come out.

00:39:44.100 She got it for my 40th birthday.

00:39:47.020 And it was remarkable.

00:39:49.420 Remarkable.

00:39:50.260 It was $10,000.

00:39:53.680 $10,000.

00:39:55.580 I looked at her and said, no TV.

00:39:57.720 And she said, turn it on.

00:39:59.980 Pat came over a lot and we just, you know, watch TV a lot.

00:40:04.820 But now you can get a TV that's double the size with more features and higher quality for $400 at Walmart.

00:40:11.960 Yeah.

00:40:12.180 That wasn't even a, that wasn't, that wasn't high definition.

00:40:15.920 That was standard.

00:40:16.740 It wasn't even high definition.

00:40:17.380 No, that was standard definition.

00:40:19.000 Oh my gosh.

00:40:20.260 I mean, that's crazy.

00:40:21.520 But again, like, you know, you could say back then be like, well, only people like Glenn Beck can afford this.

00:40:26.420 It's not fair.

00:40:27.540 Well, it became pretty freaking fair pretty freaking fast.

00:40:30.280 It did.

00:40:30.900 It did.

00:40:31.340 And, you know, look, you know, this idea that socialism is going to solve these things.

00:40:36.200 I mean, we've seen how many times it's going to be proven that that's not the case.

00:40:39.480 You anti-collectivist.

00:40:40.540 What do you know?

00:40:41.480 Thank you.

00:40:41.780 Yes.

00:40:41.940 You anti-collectivist.

00:40:43.380 Yes, that's exactly what I am.

00:40:46.320 Ever since he tried rough greens for the first time, my dog Uno is a completely different dog.

00:40:52.180 And I hear the same story from person after person who has tried it.

00:40:55.980 And it's not dog food.

00:40:56.980 It's something you take just a little measuring spoon and you just put it and mix it in with the food, put it on top.

00:41:03.320 And the dogs love it, love it.

00:41:06.220 And it is full of probiotics and minerals and vitamins, all of the stuff that your dog needs, all the stuff that you need.

00:41:14.340 It's not in, especially kibble food.

00:41:17.260 My dog was easy.

00:41:18.340 First time he tried it, he loved it.

00:41:20.300 However, some dogs don't love it.

00:41:22.720 The inventor or the scientist behind rough greens doesn't want that to stop you from giving it a try.

00:41:30.740 So he's going to give you the first bag for free so you can try it out with your dog.

00:41:36.260 Make sure that they love it.

00:41:37.580 All you have to do is pay for shipping.

00:41:39.620 And once you pay for shipping, they'll ship the bag to you for free.

00:41:42.600 They, I just asked them how people who have put this on the dog food for a couple of months, maybe three months, how many of them cancel afterwards?

00:41:54.800 And he's like, when the dog dies, I mean, it does make a difference and you will see it.

00:42:00.360 Just try it.

00:42:12.600 There's an amazing thing happening with our churches all over the country and really all over the world.

00:42:41.340 In Canada, there was a pastor named James Coates.

00:42:46.540 He was preaching.

00:42:48.160 He was supposed to only have 15% of the congregation.

00:42:52.860 But he said, I can't.

00:42:55.060 I'd be violating my oath to serve and preach to anybody who wanted to listen.

00:43:00.740 So I'm going to preach on Sunday.

00:43:03.340 Well, people came.

00:43:04.640 He was ticketed.

00:43:05.520 The next Sunday, they came back.

00:43:07.220 They arrested him.

00:43:08.300 He's in a maximum security prison.

00:43:12.080 For preaching.

00:43:13.700 And not crazy stuff.

00:43:15.100 Just preaching.

00:43:17.360 Maximum security prison.

00:43:19.880 No bail.

00:43:21.400 And solitary confinement.

00:43:24.440 What are our governments so afraid of?

00:43:27.980 What is really going on?

00:43:30.780 We talk to his attorney in 60 seconds.

00:43:33.840 So if you live anywhere within a day's drive of where I live, you've probably been living like you were in a Siberian gulag in the past week. 0.73

00:43:45.900 You know, we have power.

00:43:47.340 Sometimes you have drinking water.

00:43:48.900 Sometimes you don't.

00:43:50.320 Do we have food?

00:43:51.980 Here's a real question.

00:43:54.120 How would you have been fixed for eating if this would have happened to you?

00:43:57.640 Even if you had to cook over the fire you built in the middle of your living room, were you eating well?

00:44:02.800 We were.

00:44:04.360 We had Omaha steaks.

00:44:06.040 Breakfast, lunch, dinner.

00:44:07.640 Open the freezer.

00:44:09.280 Or, in our case, we took all the stuff in the freezer and we put it out in the snow.

00:44:13.380 You could grab a steak and Uno found some of the sausages that were sent from.

00:44:20.940 And I'm really.

00:44:22.460 Anyway.

00:44:23.720 Omaha steaks.

00:44:25.000 They're shipping now.

00:44:25.920 Don't get stuck without really great food in the house.

00:44:29.300 They have an unbelievable assortment of steak and chicken, fish, side dishes, desserts, something for everybody.

00:44:36.100 You want a great deal?

00:44:37.660 Look for their Butcher's Best Seller Package.

00:44:40.040 Full of burgers, pork chops, sausages, desserts, and so much more from Omaha Steaks.

00:44:46.720 Type in Beck in the search bar for this special offer and order the Butcher's Best Seller Pack today.

00:44:51.840 You'll save over 50%.

00:44:54.480 Plus, you'll get four free chicken breasts and four free burgers.

00:44:59.300 That's Omaha Steaks, keyword Beck.

00:45:09.260 James Kitchen now joins us.

00:45:11.640 He is a lawyer with Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms, something that is relatively new.

00:45:18.280 It's about 10 years old and it's a voice for freedom in the courtrooms of Canada.

00:45:23.020 He is here to talk to us about Pastor James Coates, who is now, is he still in maximum security?

00:45:33.540 He is, yeah.

00:45:34.440 He's in the Remand Center in Edmonton.

00:45:36.720 And who goes to that prison usually?

00:45:38.780 Well, people who are awaiting their trial, right, which is what he's doing right now currently.

00:45:47.100 That's why we refer to it as a remand center.

00:45:49.820 So, you know, I think there's a wide mix.

00:45:52.640 Certainly his cellmate was coming off of some sort of drug.

00:45:57.940 I think it may have been meth.

00:45:59.460 For the first day or two, he was in the cell with Coates.

00:46:02.120 So, I can imagine there's a wide range of guys in there.

00:46:07.560 And was he in solitary confinement for a while?

00:46:11.920 Well, I don't know if I'd quite call it that.

00:46:14.520 I mean, what was going on is that he wasn't allowed to have any visitors, so he couldn't see his wife.

00:46:17.920 He was only let out for 40 minutes a day.

00:46:20.980 And he wasn't allowed to have any, you know, normal social interaction with anybody except, of course, his cellmate.

00:46:25.400 The reason for that is, of course, the 14-day COVID, you know, isolation restriction that they have prisoners coming in.

00:46:33.740 So, that's not, like, normally in the prison you are able to receive some visitors and you have some time out in a common area with some other prisoners.

00:46:41.620 He's not getting that because of the COVID restrictions, not because of any other reason.

00:46:46.380 So, I mean, solitary confinement probably isn't quite the word, but it's certainly taxing.

00:46:50.560 Don't we get those 40 minutes out and not be able to have any visitors?

00:46:54.340 So, what is happening?

00:46:56.560 Why was he arrested?

00:46:58.060 Tell us the story.

00:46:59.740 Sure.

00:47:00.120 So, his church is probably one of the few that not only believe they should all meet together at the same time on a morning,

00:47:10.820 but are going to do it even when the government says not to because, you know, they, first of all, I mean, they don't believe in the science behind it.

00:47:19.560 They don't think it's a justified violation of their rights because they don't think there's scientific evidence to back it up.

00:47:25.240 But, you know, it's also a violation of their religious beliefs, right?

00:47:28.820 Because they follow Scripture and Scripture says we are all to meet and meet in person, not over Zoom,

00:47:34.780 so that we can, you know, pray together, sing together, do baptism together, have the Lord's Supper together, et cetera, et cetera.

00:47:40.180 So, his church meets at its full, normal capacity, and he's the head pastor.

00:47:44.500 He presides over that service most Sundays.

00:47:47.240 So, because he was at that capacity and not at 15%, which is what it's supposed to be here in Alberta,

00:47:53.480 he did that for several months, and eventually he was arrested and released on a Sunday after a service.

00:48:02.320 Given an undertaking by the police, he refused to sign that undertaking.

00:48:05.240 So, he refused to agree with it.

00:48:06.300 So, there was no real undertaking.

00:48:08.200 However, the next Sunday, he held church again, and the police asked him to turn himself in,

00:48:13.200 and when he did, they charged him with breaching that undertaking.

00:48:16.680 And that led immediately to a bail hearing.

00:48:18.880 Now, they also charged him with breaching public health measures,

00:48:21.900 but that was kind of the key charge there, because that's the only one that's criminal.

00:48:26.500 And so, that led to a bail hearing.

00:48:28.080 At the bail hearing, he was released, but he was released with a condition.

00:48:33.320 And the condition was that he stopped breaching the public health orders,

00:48:36.460 which he couldn't do, of course, because that would mean our church would have to be at 15%.

00:48:40.120 So, because he wouldn't agree to the condition, he had to be held in jail.

00:48:44.720 Now, are they doing this to business people?

00:48:48.580 Well, they haven't put any business people in jail.

00:48:50.700 Well, you know, I have a lot of experience with this now, Burt,

00:48:53.860 and I can tell you there's a lot of tickets.

00:48:56.700 There's a lot of attempts by the local health authority to close down the businesses.

00:49:01.420 There's been some court applications and some court orders,

00:49:03.900 but they haven't actually arrested and tried to throw any business owners in jail yet.

00:49:10.220 So, you would think that business owners don't have the standing that a church would have.

00:49:20.220 I mean, I'm trying to remember what your Bill of Rights is called up in Canada.

00:49:25.280 It's not as strong as ours, but ours is worthless right now.

00:49:29.060 But you have protection for speech and for religion, right?

00:49:33.580 We do, yes.

00:49:34.900 It's called the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms,

00:49:37.000 and it's the portion of our Constitution where our civil liberties are protected.

00:49:40.400 And Section 2, 2A protects freedom of religion, and 2B protects freedom of expression, as you said.

00:49:46.980 2C protects freedom of peaceful assembly,

00:49:49.740 which is, of course, also being exercised on a Sunday morning by this church.

00:49:52.480 Yes, we, you know, similarly to you, we have these protections.

00:49:56.680 They're not worth much unless the court has a will to enforce them,

00:50:00.320 unless the government has any sort of will to respect them.

00:50:02.880 They're not worth much, unfortunately.

00:50:04.480 So, that's the situation we face.

00:50:06.440 And yes, the pastor would have more rights than a business owner.

00:50:10.600 So, why was he singled out, do you think?

00:50:17.920 That's a good question.

00:50:18.880 I, you know, he's been doing this for a long time.

00:50:22.920 It's been three months that he has been, you know, just saying,

00:50:28.240 look, I serve Jesus, not the government,

00:50:30.880 and my church is going to continue to do church as we see is best for our people.

00:50:35.860 It's the most loving thing that we can do for our people.

00:50:37.920 And has there been extreme breakouts among his flock?

00:50:43.280 No, there hasn't been any.

00:50:44.300 There hasn't been any.

00:50:44.980 I can only say that perhaps the government is, after three months of him doing this,

00:50:50.520 has kind of just, you know, they said, enough's enough.

00:50:53.020 We've got to do something about this.

00:50:55.760 But wait, there hasn't been any outbreak of COVID in his congregation.

00:51:01.580 And while he was being arrested,

00:51:04.000 aren't the numbers going dramatically in the opposite direction?

00:51:07.980 I mean, shouldn't they be easing up on these restrictions?

00:51:10.840 Because the numbers were going way down, were they not?

00:51:15.120 Well, I mean, that's the elephant in the room.

00:51:17.180 Are there restrictions about politics?

00:51:19.080 Or are they about safety and health and medicine and science and facts?

00:51:22.860 Right?

00:51:23.640 So, I mean, you know, this is a church of 400 members.

00:51:26.180 They've had no outbreaks of COVID.

00:51:27.260 Nobody has died of COVID.

00:51:28.780 But they have had somebody die to the lockdown measures.

00:51:31.500 They had somebody die prematurely because he couldn't get his cancer treatment.

00:51:35.580 So, yeah, no, this isn't, you know, this isn't ultimately, in my opinion,

00:51:41.760 about science, facts, medicine, evidence, safety.

00:51:44.980 It's not about anything, but politics.

00:51:46.680 Right?

00:51:47.260 So, because if we did actually just care about trying to keep people safe

00:51:53.100 or public health or what have you,

00:51:55.160 then if you had a church that was open full on for three months

00:51:58.460 and had no outbreaks and no issues, you'd leave them alone.

00:52:01.740 Yeah.

00:52:01.860 Because obviously it's working.

00:52:03.140 Obviously the government is wrong about the restrictions on churches.

00:52:06.420 Obviously it's working.

00:52:07.620 And obviously they're fine.

00:52:08.900 And maybe we should actually go worry about the nursing homes,

00:52:10.880 where the problem really is.

00:52:12.060 That would be a reasonable approach, but that's not how politics works.

00:52:14.980 So if it's politics, do you have faith that the court is not tangled in politics?

00:52:21.500 Because here in America it is.

00:52:23.580 Well, I mean, where is it not?

00:52:26.580 Right?

00:52:26.880 I mean, of course my faith is not solid.

00:52:33.140 You know, I certainly hope and look to the courts for them to think independently,

00:52:38.520 for them to fulfill their role, to be an effective check on government power,

00:52:47.260 an effective balance on that, to be a sober second thought,

00:52:50.620 and to not merely accept everything the government says,

00:52:53.580 but to actually critically analyze whether or not it's true.

00:52:56.160 I would hope for that.

00:52:57.560 But so far in Canada, I've seen very few instances of that happening.

00:53:01.320 Most of what I've seen is the courts simply rubber stamping government measures.

00:53:07.160 It's terrifying.

00:53:08.200 Yeah, it is.

00:53:09.360 So what can people do to help?

00:53:14.360 Well, first of all, did they, the church, I assume, was going again yesterday.

00:53:18.520 He was still in prison.

00:53:20.360 They had another pastor, and was he arrested or fined?

00:53:24.500 He wasn't.

00:53:25.520 Interestingly enough, for only the second time in three months,

00:53:29.100 the public health inspectors did not show up.

00:53:31.260 And the local law enforcement were in the area, but didn't even enter the parking lot.

00:53:38.660 That was interesting and surprising.

00:53:40.140 The church was certainly prepared for, you know, the hammer to come down.

00:53:44.300 And so it's hard to know what they're thinking,

00:53:46.600 but it says volumes that nobody showed up.

00:53:50.840 The church had a large number of people there.

00:53:53.080 In fact, they had to turn people away just to be in accordance with their normal 100% fire code

00:54:00.820 for actual safety.

00:54:02.340 They had to turn some people away who kind of stood around outside

00:54:05.060 and listened to an outdoor speaker to the service because they didn't want to leave.

00:54:08.260 They were so happy to be there.

00:54:09.500 So it was interesting.

00:54:12.740 So what can people do to help?

00:54:16.200 Well, you know, I think the most important thing people can do is to stop self-censoring.

00:54:21.240 Now, obviously, some people agree with this.

00:54:22.760 They agree with the lockdowns.

00:54:24.500 But for the growing number of people who don't,

00:54:27.400 it's important on an individual level that each one of them stand up and be counted and speak out.

00:54:33.080 And if they disagree with it, to say so, right?

00:54:37.160 And to take some action, peaceful action, of course,

00:54:39.880 but actually say, no, this is wrong, and I'm going to do something about it.

00:54:43.440 I'm going to let my politicians know, and I'm going to start talking to people I know,

00:54:46.200 and we're going to start, you know, living life and not believe in this stuff anymore,

00:54:51.280 and we're going to say so.

00:54:52.760 That's the biggest thing, right?

00:54:54.040 We've got a lot of people who disagree with it quietly.

00:54:56.320 They don't say anything.

00:54:57.140 And then there's just a few people like Pastor James Coates,

00:54:59.640 and then the government tries to single them out and take them out.

00:55:02.680 But if all the people who disagreed and opposed it stood up and said,

00:55:05.640 we're done with this, we're tired of being governed and policed in this way,

00:55:09.480 we're tired of our rights being taken away,

00:55:11.460 then this thing would start to crumble.

00:55:12.880 Well, I will tell you, that would be the easiest thing.

00:55:15.880 I know that Pastor Coates' wife said over the weekend that don't stand by the 15% capacity limit.

00:55:24.000 She said, you know, even though my husband is in prison for it,

00:55:28.120 the best thing you can do is open your churches and stand up,

00:55:32.680 because they can't arrest all of us.

00:55:34.980 That's right.

00:55:35.760 I mean, she's not wrong.

00:55:37.620 That's just how it works, right?

00:55:40.240 It's still a democracy that we live in, right?

00:55:43.540 Obviously, it's starting to fall apart, but it's not a totalitarian dystopian nightmare yet.

00:55:49.440 We're on our way there, but it's not there yet.

00:55:52.300 It could still be turned around if enough people said,

00:55:54.680 no, we don't want it to go there, so we're not going to let it go there.

00:55:58.320 We're not going to put up with this, right?

00:55:59.660 But, yeah, she's right.

00:56:02.900 Thank you so much.

00:56:04.080 I really appreciate it.

00:56:05.580 James Kitchen, lawyer for the Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms.

00:56:16.060 Thank you.

00:56:16.500 You bet.

00:56:19.440 You know, they say it isn't the times you fail that you regret,

00:56:23.940 so much as the times that you didn't try.

00:56:25.780 Well, tell that to anybody who tried to, you know, buy a timeshare and succeeded.

00:56:31.180 You know, you kind of wish you failed right there.

00:56:35.000 If you're one of those people, I'm guessing you've had quite the frustrating time

00:56:39.740 trying to book the timeshare that you wanted, that you were promised,

00:56:42.920 ever since you got it.

00:56:44.300 I bet that goes double for when you have COVID.

00:56:47.700 I mean, the horror stories that I have heard, just awful, just awful.

00:56:53.460 Sure, you could continue to drink the pain away, but that doesn't usually work.

00:56:59.300 May I suggest timeshare termination team?

00:57:40.220 10 seconds, station ID.

00:57:41.780 What is happening?

00:57:56.380 And how frightening is it that we're starting to have conversations from people like that

00:58:00.360 that are saying we're not in a totalitarian nation yet?

00:58:05.920 It was insane to even say that five years ago, eight years ago.

00:58:13.840 When I said it, everybody, that's crazy.

00:58:15.800 You're like, I read blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:58:18.180 Now we're hearing we're not there yet.

00:58:22.400 There's still time before the door closes.

00:58:26.100 But do you see people actually forming and saying, I'm opening up my church?

00:58:32.700 I don't care.

00:58:33.760 Arrest us all.

00:58:34.460 There's some of that, but it's not as common as you're in between.

00:58:39.900 I will say, you know, a lot of churches are back in, you know, in session.

00:58:44.100 Many of them are.

00:58:45.120 I don't think in the United States you have any right to even make it 98% capacity, let alone 15.

00:58:53.000 Nope.

00:58:53.300 Now, Canada's rules are different.

00:58:54.760 And, you know, there's a reason why I'd rather live in the United States than Canada.

00:59:00.260 And this is one of those reasons.

00:59:01.480 But that is there's, you know, I have a religious liberty attorney on with me this week on Students America.

00:59:07.500 And I talked to him right as the pandemic started.

00:59:10.880 And he said there is very limited ability for the U.S. government to and states to be able to restrict in-person services in a pandemic.

00:59:25.360 There is some precedent for it, but it is basically the shortest time possible.

00:59:33.420 Like, the first thing you need to do before schools, even, before anything.

00:59:37.900 Open the churches.

00:59:38.780 Open the churches.

00:59:39.680 I mean, only in the most extreme circumstances for the shortest term possible is it even part of people.

00:59:44.180 And if you're opening the liquor stores and the, you know, marijuana stores and you're telling the churches, you don't have a leg to stand on.

00:59:51.880 No.

00:59:52.340 Not in the United States you don't.

00:59:53.480 Yeah.

00:59:53.600 Well, you do.

00:59:54.680 He was, I mean, he's very, he's right.

00:59:58.820 That only means something if there's a will to enforce it.

01:00:02.380 Yes.

01:00:03.040 You know, and our Bill of Rights has been a joke for at least a couple of decades.

01:00:08.160 And I do think as, as time goes on, we will see a lot of these cases brought up during the pandemic that run through the courts and get overturned, that these policies were not okay to have in place.

01:00:20.020 Of course, obviously at that point, the pandemic is likely over and it's no longer a consideration, but at least it may set a precedent for the future because these, these cases have to go through.

01:00:30.440 You have to have an ability for churches to meet, even if it's dangerous.

01:00:35.480 Like the, the fundamental part of, of this society when it comes to faith is the government is out of your way when it, when you, I mean, you can do all sorts of things.

01:00:47.660 Think of the cases that have gone through.

01:00:49.400 I mean, you could do drugs, right?

01:00:52.180 Right.

01:00:52.480 Like the Supreme court is like, yes, you could do illegal drugs if it's part of your religion. 0.98

01:00:56.280 It's that, I mean, they've gone that far.

01:00:58.500 So the idea that you can open up during a pandemic, it's not really, there's no real argument.

01:01:04.500 It's similar to what, you know, uh, FDR did, right?

01:01:07.380 Like he would pass all these things and everyone would be like, that can't possibly be constitutional.

01:01:11.200 And then later on, years later, they'd say, yeah, you were right.

01:01:15.200 It was not constitutional, but at that point, the damage had been damage had been done.

01:01:19.340 And that's what's going to happen here.

01:01:21.060 Hopefully at least some of the stuff will get blocked out for the future.

01:01:23.880 But that, this is, this is like, there's this thing that the government is doing now.

01:01:28.320 It's with vaccinations.

01:01:29.300 It's with masks.

01:01:30.480 This is sort of absolutism when it comes to COVID.

01:01:33.080 Like basically do not take any risks under any circumstances.

01:01:35.700 That's the best thing you can do.

01:01:37.000 And of course, what does that mean?

01:01:38.040 People, what do people do?

01:01:39.320 They say, well, I'm just going to do it.

01:01:41.180 If you're, if you're going to be that ridiculous, screw you.

01:01:42.820 I'm just going to do it.

01:01:43.340 I'm willing to do things that are, um, that, that can help, but I'm not going to turn my

01:01:50.180 life off for, for this.

01:01:53.480 And it hurts.

01:01:54.840 It has made the situation markedly worse because people now are gathering in tiny apartments

01:02:02.180 in New York city instead of gathering, going out to parks because the government was dumb

01:02:06.600 enough to say, Hey, I mean, now it's cold, but even back when it was warm, no, you can't

01:02:10.120 go out.

01:02:10.360 You can't greet him.

01:02:11.040 You can't gather in parks.

01:02:12.280 You can't see your friends.

01:02:13.400 Don't see any of your relatives.

01:02:14.640 If you're going to do it, you can't do it.

01:02:16.360 If there's no, there's no, don't, don't have Christmas dinner.

01:02:18.880 Don't have Thanksgiving dinner.

01:02:21.040 Not, Hey, you know what?

01:02:22.500 Try to improve your ventilation or maybe, uh, do it outside.

01:02:26.180 If you're in a warm environment, like, you know, here's one, get a vaccine or if you've

01:02:31.400 already had it and you've recovered, just go back and live your life.

01:02:34.800 That's Israel, right? 0.90

01:02:35.740 Yeah.

01:02:36.020 Um, Israel is saying, why are they so far ahead?

01:02:38.240 They're saying to their population, as we mentioned, Hey, get the vaccine.

01:02:42.480 And as soon as you're past this time period, then go back to life and don't worry about

01:02:45.540 it.

01:02:45.820 Now we can all talk about how they're going to monitor that and everything.

01:02:49.100 There are, there are issues to discuss there, surely.

01:02:51.500 But even if you just said to people, look, we'll do it on an honor system.

01:02:56.360 If you got a vaccine, go out and do what you want.

01:02:58.800 That would, most people are not going to try to fake out the government and say, I got vaccinated

01:03:03.580 when I did, especially, we'll just go out and do it.

01:03:05.640 Right.

01:03:06.280 Especially if the government didn't seem so totalitarian is.

01:03:10.400 Yep.

01:03:10.560 I mean, once they say you must do it, that pushes, especially in America that used to

01:03:18.220 at least push people's buttons.

01:03:19.580 And they're like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

01:03:21.680 You're not telling me what to do.

01:03:23.180 It's true.

01:03:23.660 Yeah.

01:03:24.160 The more they push this, the more extreme freedom and freedom lovers seem.

01:03:31.360 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:03:36.300 So all good things must come to an end.

01:05:08.660 Hello, Phillip.

01:05:09.340 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:05:13.200 Phillip, are you there?

01:05:15.680 All right.

01:05:16.200 Let me go to Paul in West Virginia.

01:05:18.120 Hello, Paul.

01:05:20.200 Hey, Glenn.

01:05:21.040 This is Paul in West Virginia again.

01:05:22.880 How are you?

01:05:23.460 Very good, sir.

01:05:24.140 Hey, what we got going on today is I got where I got an email from Senator Charles Trump,

01:05:32.240 our state senator, and there's some legislation coming up for review this week, which pertains

01:05:41.100 to tax, property taxes and churches.

01:05:44.500 And I was hoping to get people in West Virginia excited to call their delegates and state senators

01:05:51.880 to get this push forward.

01:05:55.420 What it is is in Hampshire County and in Putnam County right now, the tax assessors of those

01:06:02.120 counties are threatening to pull the tax exempt status from churches because they are going

01:06:09.320 to allow other nonprofit entities to use their building.

01:06:15.760 And in accordance with the code, that would change the use of the building status.

01:06:21.800 So like, for instance, in Hampshire County, they wanted to allow a Christian school, which

01:06:28.460 doesn't have a place to meet right now and is just getting started to meet in their building.

01:06:34.180 And so the tax assessor said, if you allow that Christian school, which is separate from

01:06:39.740 the church of the tax exempt organization, to meet in your building, that will change the

01:06:46.100 use of your building and you will come under property taxes under a commercial rate, which

01:06:53.220 would be about like $33,000 or something a year.

01:06:57.540 And you'll lose your tax exempt status because of that.

01:07:02.200 In Putnam County, that's already happened.

01:07:05.720 A church in Putnam County was allowing nonprofit organizations to utilize a large camp that

01:07:11.960 they have down there for like, you know, disabled veterans and disabled children, things like

01:07:18.700 that.

01:07:19.920 And they were charging a small fee because, well, the camp doesn't run itself.

01:07:24.320 They don't have the wherewithal to pay for the upkeep of that whole camp.

01:07:27.840 So they were charging a small fee just to cover cost.

01:07:30.680 And they thought, well, that's OK, because both entities are nonprofit tax exempt.

01:07:36.620 But the tax assessor there said the same thing.

01:07:39.880 No change of the use of your property.

01:07:42.900 And so they've been fighting for about three years now in our courts, trying to get it fixed

01:07:49.080 and trying to get it understood.

01:07:50.500 And so we we called our state legislatures.

01:07:56.080 And it just so happens that Mr. Trump happens to be a lawyer and we sent him the information.

01:08:00.280 He looked at it.

01:08:01.400 No, they have standing.

01:08:03.280 Unless we change the law, then it's not going to work.

01:08:07.180 So right now they're in the process of submitting legislation to change that article in our law.

01:08:14.380 I hope that people in West Virginia are paying attention to this.

01:08:19.820 This is going to be happening more and more often.

01:08:23.040 And here's the thing that is going to sound really, really harsh.

01:08:26.240 First, you're doing the right thing of going in and fighting it and fighting it on the state level.

01:08:34.400 All of our states, if you believe in the Bill of Rights, you need to get on the phone with your state senators,

01:08:41.840 your state house members, your governor, your attorney generals.

01:08:46.140 And you need to say, we must shore this up.

01:08:51.140 We want our state to be a sanctuary state for the Bill of Rights that we if the federal government decides to decimate the Bill of Rights,

01:09:02.860 we will not go along with it.

01:09:05.500 Our churches have status.

01:09:08.720 People have the right to free speech and free assembly.

01:09:13.040 They have a right to protect themselves and to have guns.

01:09:18.060 And we're not going to violate those things.

01:09:21.140 That's the first thing you need to do.

01:09:24.380 And Paul has done that.

01:09:26.120 And the next thing you have to do is, if you're a church, realize that your tax-exempt status has been a nice luxury.

01:09:40.900 But if you start making your decisions based on tax-exempt status, you are going to fall into heresy so fast.

01:09:50.520 You will become part of the problem.

01:09:53.740 So fight it because you want your tax-exempt status and you deserve it.

01:09:59.440 And because the idea has always been that our local churches provide services.

01:10:06.320 For instance, first time I went to an AA meeting, it was in the basement of a church.

01:10:12.780 Churches do those things.

01:10:15.280 They let these private charities come in and use their building when they need something.

01:10:23.480 Because that's where we should be looking for our services.

01:10:27.300 That's where we should be looking for our help.

01:10:29.640 Is in our local community, away from government.

01:10:33.980 But I warn you, this is going to come to a place and our churches are going to be separated quickly.

01:10:44.580 If you don't play by the government's rules, you'll lose your tax-exempt status.

01:10:50.200 They make no mistake, they have their eye on the right.

01:10:57.640 They have their eye on religious people. 0.98

01:10:59.900 I just read something this weekend that lumps religious people in with the terrorists, you know, of the January 6th.

01:11:08.740 That it's these religious people that get all wound up. 1.00

01:11:13.220 Really?

01:11:14.060 Is that what it is?

01:11:15.300 Is that what it is?

01:11:16.160 Meanwhile, you are going to see very powerful organizations.

01:11:25.000 Next hour, I'm going to go into some stuff that's happening in organizations that will curl your hair.

01:11:31.680 They are going around the Constitution.

01:11:36.900 And they are going to be part of the oppressors.

01:11:42.780 How dare you say that?

01:11:44.240 Boy, those are fighting words.

01:11:45.400 Glenn Beck is saying that they're the oppressors.

01:11:47.820 He's stirring his audience up.

01:11:50.040 Really?

01:11:50.460 Because I'm just using the same language that critical race theory is using.

01:11:55.340 The oppressed and oppressors.

01:11:58.320 And critical race theory teaches that the only way to solve racism is to punish racism with reverse racism.

01:12:06.860 So, I guess you're admitting that you're becoming the oppressor.

01:12:15.360 You have corporations that are working with this.

01:12:18.660 And let me give you an extreme example.

01:12:21.080 The religious minorities that are being detained in Chinese concentration camps are allegedly being violently gang raped.

01:12:32.440 One woman who has escaped has said that the policewoman told her that she had been assigned to investigate reports of rapes and torture taking place at the facility and how the mail guards would brag about how they were raped and tortured.

01:12:51.480 The first encounter with new detainees was approximately 100 men and women who were chained and shackled at their hands and feet.

01:13:02.180 And she said she witnessed horrible tragedies.

01:13:07.600 Women crying loudly.

01:13:11.100 Now, this is a woman who got out of China and was part of the prison system. 1.00

01:13:18.700 She was there.

01:13:19.920 She said, I didn't commit any of these crimes.

01:13:22.460 She said, I saw this.

01:13:27.880 And later she was arrested.

01:13:32.340 She was then put in prison and into this prison. 0.98

01:13:36.220 And she said she endured nightmares.

01:13:39.800 She said guards forced her onto a table where they inserted a stun baton inside of her and constantly shocked her until she blacked out.

01:13:52.460 She said there was a couple of weeks that went by after that.

01:13:56.200 And she was gang raped by several men.

01:13:59.480 Those experiences happened several times.

01:14:03.580 She said they were sadistic and they caused pain and damage to my body by beating and smacking my head on the wall.

01:14:11.480 It was just their daily routine of punishing us.

01:14:16.020 Now, first of all, a couple of things.

01:14:18.780 One.

01:14:19.040 Didn't we all say never again?

01:14:26.340 We are following exactly the same pattern that we did in the 1930s.

01:14:31.980 This was happening.

01:14:33.240 And what did people say?

01:14:34.340 It's too far away.

01:14:35.360 I can't do anything about it.

01:14:37.080 Other people said, well, we only have a few words of some people that escaped.

01:14:42.700 And they're probably anti-German or anti-Nazi.

01:14:46.800 These guys are probably anti-communist or anti-China.

01:14:50.880 I mean, you know, and probably a lot of them deserve it because, I mean, China said for a long time, these guys are terrorists.

01:14:59.500 We're saying the same thing the people said in America in the 1930s.

01:15:05.060 Our government is saying the same thing as they said in the 1930s about Germany.

01:15:12.380 Now, you don't understand.

01:15:14.560 It's cultural.

01:15:15.660 It's different over there.

01:15:17.200 These people have done some things that China just doesn't like.

01:15:21.740 It was exactly the same scenario.

01:15:27.860 And what's worse?

01:15:30.720 Did you read over the weekend that IBM is getting rid of their medical computer system?

01:15:39.320 Remember I told you years ago that IBM was working on a computer system in New York that was taking all of the facts and putting it in to a computer system where it would be like, you know, Big Blue, the chess playing game.

01:16:00.040 That it was trying to use AI and machine learning to do diagnostics.

01:16:06.140 And it was starting to get really, really good.

01:16:08.320 Do you remember this, Stu?

01:16:09.320 And I told you this is four or five years ago, that AI will eventually become more reliable than your doctor.

01:16:16.420 And you will look at your doctor and go, yeah, yeah.

01:16:18.140 But what does the machine say?

01:16:20.560 Well, that machine was called Watson.

01:16:26.500 Watson Medical.

01:16:29.260 Watson.

01:16:29.960 I always thought it was like, you know, Dr. Watson from Sherlock Holmes.

01:16:34.520 No, no.

01:16:35.860 It was the guy that ran IBM during the Holocaust. 0.77

01:16:40.740 It was the guy who knew what IBM was doing in the concentration camps.

01:16:46.140 It was sorting so they could pick them up, track them, know exactly where Jews were. 0.90

01:16:53.000 Then sorting and making lists for the Nazis. 0.82

01:16:56.560 Here's whose house you go to first.

01:16:58.780 Here's how you end the day.

01:17:00.400 Here's how many were killed.

01:17:02.020 Here's how many were on the train.

01:17:04.720 Here's the train schedule.

01:17:06.200 IBM did all of that.

01:17:07.540 It's a little ironic that all of the medical studies that were done on Jews in Germany.

01:17:17.420 That the medical diagnostic system would be called would be named after the guy that helped the Nazis do it from IBM.

01:17:26.880 The reason why I bring this story up is because Facebook and Google.

01:17:32.580 Are in bed with China. 0.98

01:17:34.640 They are helping them through social media and through algorithms.

01:17:39.120 Americans are helping them do these things and Americans are saying to themselves, well, if it's not us, it's going to be somebody else.

01:17:47.140 Well, then let it be somebody else.

01:17:50.420 We should be standing up for the people that are being persecuted, the people that are being rounded up.

01:17:57.160 By the way, see if this sounds familiar.

01:18:01.860 Spokesperson for the Communist Party, the publicity department, said that the religious minorities were not being rounded up,

01:18:10.740 but rather claimed that China was only cracking down on heinous and obstinate leaders and backbones of extremist groups.

01:18:23.300 End quote.

01:18:27.160 Oh, good.

01:18:29.080 Hey, by the way, that reminds me, we should talk about Garland, who is going to be our new head of the DOJ, our new attorney general.

01:18:38.740 He's got a he's got a thing for extremist groups.

01:18:42.340 We'll tell you about that.

01:18:43.640 Welcome back to spring weather.

01:18:45.180 If you're in Dallas, pretty much the snow has melted.

01:18:49.220 It was 70, 75 yesterday.

01:18:51.660 We've got about five minutes here of spring, and then it's going to go into a flaming hot desert.

01:18:56.200 And it might freeze, you know, in a week or so.

01:19:00.960 But then it'll be just blazing fires of hell.

01:19:04.720 So whether it's blizzarding or boiling hot,

01:19:08.560 Rectech smart grill technology allows me to control the whole cooking process remotely.

01:19:13.180 I don't have to stand outside in the cold or the heat.

01:19:16.180 I can do it from an app on my phone or device.

01:19:19.060 It's so smart that if the weather changes while cooking, it'll adjust to that and continue providing even more heating for the perfect food every single time.

01:19:29.220 Rectech built sturdy from stainless steel.

01:19:32.200 It's like a tank.

01:19:33.200 It's sleek.

01:19:33.840 It's beautiful.

01:19:34.900 You're going to love it.

01:19:36.120 But don't take my word for it.

01:19:37.280 A.B.

01:19:37.620 Compare them right now.

01:19:39.060 You can go online and look at the latest Rectech.

01:19:42.080 R.E.C.

01:19:43.060 T.E.

01:19:43.620 Q.

01:19:44.100 Dot com.

01:19:44.660 It's Rectech dot com.

01:19:50.020 You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

01:19:57.320 Karlyn Borisenko is the psychologist that we've had on several times.

01:20:02.980 She was the one that we first found her after she decided to go to a Trump rally.

01:20:08.600 And she was a liberal.

01:20:10.900 And she was like, I want to see this for myself.

01:20:13.960 And everybody said, you can't go.

01:20:15.100 They're going to kill you.

01:20:16.280 And she was like, it was perfectly pleasant.

01:20:19.520 She's still alive today.

01:20:20.660 She's still alive today, despite the pleasantness.

01:20:23.640 Shocking.

01:20:24.120 Of the crowd.

01:20:25.320 Anyway, so she's been on several times.

01:20:27.220 Well, she's on a campaign to stop this critical race theory stuff. 1.00

01:20:30.920 And she wrote a piece on Coca-Cola and what Coca-Cola is now training people to be less white.

01:20:40.940 Now, I've always liked Stu's rule of thumb on how you can tell if something's racist.

01:20:48.560 Just switch the subject.

01:20:51.980 Switch the color.

01:20:52.820 Yeah.

01:20:53.220 So to be less Jewish, to be less black, to be less brown. 0.96

01:21:01.600 Does it sound good when you say that out loud?

01:21:03.760 If it doesn't, that means, you know, the initial statement was also racist.

01:21:08.220 Exactly right.

01:21:08.920 And it does not sound good to tell people to be less black.

01:21:11.460 Yeah.

01:21:11.760 Or be less Jewish. 0.89

01:21:13.100 That does not sound like a good thing to say to someone.

01:21:15.380 No, it really doesn't.

01:21:16.140 So you probably shouldn't tell them they should be less white either. 0.76

01:21:19.480 So we have that whole story coming up for you here in a second.

01:21:22.460 But I'm going to run out of time.

01:21:24.460 I, my wife and I are, we got into watching Grey's Anatomy.

01:21:33.080 It's like a hundred seasons.

01:21:34.300 It's like a hundred seasons.

01:21:35.740 And we're like on the 11th season and we've been watching it forever.

01:21:40.080 But when you're watching it at a high rate of speed, you notice something about what's

01:21:47.940 happening to the cast and what the storylines are.

01:21:51.320 And it is fascinating.

01:21:53.880 I'll try to get to that next hour.

01:21:58.820 Hello, America.

01:21:59.880 It's Monday and we're trying our darndest to be less white. 0.98

01:22:04.700 I don't know about you, but I'm a little sick and tired of all the whiteness. 1.00

01:22:08.440 I'm way too white.

01:22:09.460 You're way too white. 0.90

01:22:10.680 Way too white.

01:22:11.360 When I decrease my whiteness by 30, 40% minimum.

01:22:15.080 Today.

01:22:15.700 Today.

01:22:16.200 I hope, right?

01:22:16.680 In the future, I will hope to be the opposite of white. 1.00

01:22:19.580 Well, I have to tell you, I'm working towards race trader, which according to the left is 0.97

01:22:28.380 now something all white people should strive for and aspire to.

01:22:33.640 Yeah.

01:22:33.840 You really want to be a race trader. 0.54

01:22:35.480 So that's my goal.

01:22:37.320 Doesn't have to be everybody's goal.

01:22:38.600 But if it's not, you will be destroyed.

01:22:40.940 So.

01:22:41.900 Well, sure.

01:22:42.360 We're going to go into the latest on being less white, according to Coca-Cola in 60 seconds.

01:22:50.980 So you have, yeah, gosh, he's so spooky.

01:22:58.000 It's like he's really here and I know he's not.

01:23:00.220 He's just reading our mind that Kyle, what's his name?

01:23:03.620 Kyle, not Kyle, Kyle, the guy from Star Wars.

01:23:09.540 Kylo Ren.

01:23:10.580 Yeah.

01:23:10.820 Kylo.

01:23:11.480 Kylo Ren.

01:23:12.020 Yeah.

01:23:12.120 I was thinking Kyler and I'm like, not Kyle.

01:23:15.180 Kyle.

01:23:15.620 Kyle Ren.

01:23:16.300 Kyle.

01:23:17.180 He's a trader, a stock trader.

01:23:20.980 Well, he is white, you know, Kyle. 0.75

01:23:25.720 All right.

01:24:51.420 So, Coca-Cola has found itself in a little bit of hot water after a viral social media post revealed

01:25:06.620 that some Coca-Cola employees have completed a racial sensitivity training course

01:25:11.920 that teaches participants how to be less white.

01:25:16.260 Now, Karlyn Borisenko, who is a psychiatrist and somebody who is fighting against this crazy, dangerous,

01:25:28.540 and dare I say evil, critical race theory that is now being put into all of our corporations.

01:25:35.860 You are going to face this, and you need to stand up against it.

01:25:41.240 Um, she exposed this, uh, on Friday, and we're going to talk to her in about 25 minutes about it.

01:25:49.720 But the, the slides from the course titled Confronting Racism states understanding what racism means

01:25:59.620 and what it means to be white.

01:26:03.480 What it means to be white. 0.54

01:26:05.320 Okay, what does it mean to be black?

01:26:10.220 What does it mean to be Jewish?

01:26:13.960 Challenging what it means to be a racist.

01:26:16.740 Now, they go through the slides, and, uh, one says,

01:26:20.440 to be less white.

01:26:22.440 Now, imagine, again, if we were to reverse the colors.

01:26:28.080 That's how you always know if something's wrong.

01:26:30.160 You just reverse the subject, and, uh, if the, uh, if it feels bad when you say it,

01:26:39.220 eh, then, you know, it's probably racist the other way, too.

01:26:44.340 So, if I said, you need to be less black, 1.00

01:26:48.520 Coca-Cola would like their workers to be less black.

01:26:53.260 Really?

01:26:53.740 Wow.

01:26:54.480 Yeah, that would, that, there would be no Coca-Cola.

01:26:57.020 Yeah, it would be no.

01:26:57.960 Approximately one week from today, if they were to do that.

01:27:00.600 Uh, by the way, you want to talk about the whitest American Western company? 0.54

01:27:07.060 Uh, I would say it would have to be Coca-Cola.

01:27:09.280 I mean, when you.

01:27:10.300 The whitest?

01:27:10.880 When you think of white culture, Stu, white culture, 0.96

01:27:14.620 they're from Atlanta.

01:27:16.700 Do you think that was black culture?

01:27:19.640 No, they were oppressing people in Atlanta.

01:27:22.620 Oh, yeah, that's right.

01:27:23.380 Okay?

01:27:23.920 But if you think of them, an American company,

01:27:26.300 it's always traditionally been Levi's and Coca-Cola.

01:27:31.260 Now, Levi's has kind of bitten the dust a little bit.

01:27:34.900 Uh, but Coca-Cola is everywhere.

01:27:37.680 It's an American company.

01:27:40.280 Be less white is to be less Coca-Cola. 0.91

01:27:43.680 Really?

01:27:44.480 Quite honestly.

01:27:45.540 I mean, dare I say it?

01:27:47.400 Uh, to be less white is to be less oppressive. 0.63

01:27:52.120 Hmm.

01:27:52.600 To be less arrogant.

01:27:55.760 To be less certain.

01:27:58.300 To be less defensive.

01:28:00.320 To be less ignorant.

01:28:02.800 To be more humble.

01:28:04.980 Calling white people as a race ignorant.

01:28:11.020 Can you, again, shall we reverse the colors on that one?

01:28:14.940 And see how it works out.

01:28:16.080 I mean, let's just, all white people are arrogant and ignorant. 1.00

01:28:20.420 What is racism, honestly, other than defining a group of people

01:28:26.660 based on a negative characteristic, right?

01:28:30.060 Is, is, is ignorance a negative characteristic?

01:28:33.340 Uh-huh.

01:28:33.860 Uh, is, uh, is arrogance a negative characteristic?

01:28:38.360 Uh-huh.

01:28:38.600 Of course it is.

01:28:39.340 When you define, this is the definition of racism.

01:28:43.060 Robin DiAngelo, Ibram X. Kendi, this entire movement,

01:28:47.500 white fragility and anti-racism should be viewed the same way that Richard Spencer is viewed.

01:28:54.260 Yes.

01:28:54.700 As a, as intellect, as racism wrapped in intellectualism.

01:28:59.040 Yes.

01:28:59.400 That's what it is.

01:29:00.720 That's what it is.

01:29:01.660 So if you would have Richard Spencer out to talk about his ideas,

01:29:05.340 to see if maybe that should guide your company while you're selling fizzy beverages,

01:29:10.540 then perhaps you should bring out Robin DiAngelo.

01:29:13.460 Well, IBM might have done that, you know, in the past.

01:29:15.940 They might have brought the head of the Nazi party, you know, in Jesus. 0.84

01:29:18.580 They actually made it.

01:29:20.460 I mean, that's where they were.

01:29:21.960 So we got that going for us.

01:29:23.520 Of course, Ford, Ford Motor Company would have done that as well.

01:29:27.200 These are old timey things.

01:29:28.880 Yeah, these are old timey things.

01:29:29.880 They would not bring them in today, I will say.

01:29:31.500 Right.

01:29:31.520 No, but they, but they were in the reverse.

01:29:34.140 They are bringing in the reverse.

01:29:36.160 It is exactly the same thing.

01:29:38.380 And the problem is, is to be an anti-racist.

01:29:42.420 My, my daughter said to me a few months ago, and I said, I can't answer that right now.

01:29:46.820 I can now.

01:29:48.260 She's like, dad, why won't you?

01:29:50.740 It's not enough to be, you know, not a racist.

01:29:54.100 You have to be anti-racism.

01:29:55.820 And I said, yeah, that sounds good.

01:29:58.840 She said, what's the problem with it?

01:29:59.900 And I said, I don't know, but I can guarantee you something because, well, yeah, it is.

01:30:04.780 Yeah.

01:30:04.980 And look, we are anti-racism, but not part of this anti-racist.

01:30:09.560 Ibram X.

01:30:10.160 Kendi is the guy who wrote the book.

01:30:11.840 Correct.

01:30:12.340 We're not part of that.

01:30:13.200 Right.

01:30:13.480 And so the anti-racist as it is being sold is to conquer racism, to be an anti-racist.

01:30:23.860 You must be racist against the white population.

01:30:27.620 So, and that's stated that way.

01:30:30.380 So they state that it is racism.

01:30:32.700 The only cure for future or for present discrimination is future discrimination.

01:30:37.820 That's Ibram X.

01:30:38.620 Kendi.

01:30:38.920 He's saying it, we, we view there's been oppression, right?

01:30:42.540 And because of that, we must discriminate against white people in the future to make up for that, 0.98

01:30:46.920 that problem, that oppression.

01:30:48.220 And because people, black people were oppressed 50 years ago, we must oppress white people now. 0.94

01:30:54.340 That is literally from his book.

01:30:57.200 And, and that is what these companies are telling their employees to embrace.

01:31:03.080 Yes.

01:31:03.780 Now, Coca-Cola says, not so fast, Mr. White person. 0.95

01:31:08.600 Okay.

01:31:08.900 Maybe you, to be less white, should be less certain. 0.83

01:31:13.780 The course in question was administered by author Robin DiAngelo, whose book, White Fragility,

01:31:20.800 has become the staple in many workplace diversity training programs.

01:31:24.600 I mean, that statement in and of itself is the problem.

01:31:27.660 Uh-huh.

01:31:28.200 Like, they're just saying, well, basically everyone else is doing it, so we should do it too.

01:31:32.400 That's not a good excuse.

01:31:33.640 If everyone was having Richard Spencer come speak at their company.

01:31:36.920 Would you please listen?

01:31:38.020 Yes.

01:31:38.740 The description of the course stated the intent was to teach attendees what it means to be white,

01:31:44.540 what it means to be racist.

01:31:46.320 The instruction explicitly stated that to be less white is to be less oppressive and less arrogant. 0.71

01:31:53.900 However, all of the slideshows and everything, that's what she said you could do on your own time.

01:32:02.500 Oh.

01:32:02.920 So, she wasn't, Coca-Cola was not saying that to be white is arrogant.

01:32:11.920 They're not doing that.

01:32:13.280 They just hired her to say, this is what it means, and you can find this now on my website.

01:32:23.580 And so, a bunch of Coca-Cola employees went out and did that, and they were like, ah, this is horrifying.

01:32:29.380 But Coca-Cola wants you to know, they did not make that, quote, the focus of the course.

01:32:40.680 Like, for example, if you were to bring in Richard Spencer, a guy who's identified essentially as the intellectual head of the alt-right Nazi party.

01:32:49.120 The Nazi, yeah.

01:32:49.760 That movement.

01:32:50.900 If you happen to bring him in and have him speak on his love for universal health care.

01:32:55.780 Yeah.

01:32:55.960 Or his love for abortion, for example, which are both positions he holds.

01:32:59.880 His love of socialist government.

01:33:01.680 Yeah, exactly.

01:33:02.420 And shockingly, he's said to be on the right with those views.

01:33:06.160 But we'll ignore that for a moment.

01:33:07.560 Right.

01:33:07.800 And say, let's say he came in and just said, you know what, we heart abortion here at Coca-Cola, and we heart universal health care.

01:33:14.920 Would it be controversial?

01:33:17.360 Yes, sure, he's got that ethno-nationalist thing going on on the side that he referred you to.

01:33:23.220 But that wasn't the focus of our teachings.

01:33:25.940 He just believes Hitler didn't go far enough, and we should finish the work that Hitler did with the Jews. 0.61

01:33:32.860 But that wasn't, quote, the focus of the training.

01:33:38.220 Come on.

01:33:39.100 Oh, okay.

01:33:40.540 All right.

01:33:41.660 Now, McDonald's is also doing this.

01:33:44.720 McDonald's on Thursday said that it will tie executive bonuses for new goals for diversifying the company

01:33:51.760 and, for the first time, publicly release demographic details of its workforce.

01:33:59.360 Under the new rules, the CEO stands to lose 15% of his $2.25 million annual bonus

01:34:07.820 if he fails to meet goals to increase the portion of women, blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and other minorities in senior leadership roles.

01:34:19.440 Oh, okay.

01:34:20.860 Okay.

01:34:22.540 Starbucks in October linked compensation to diversity goals,

01:34:27.640 but didn't provide details on how these were going to be weighed and measured.

01:34:32.720 McDonald's said in July it would launch initiatives to increase diversity,

01:34:36.780 but it hadn't developed yet exact mechanisms to do that.

01:34:40.960 Wednesday, they claimed that it aimed to boost women in leadership roles, senior director and above,

01:34:46.720 from 37% to 45% globally by the end of 2025.

01:34:52.480 It also said it would increase the portion of historically underrepresented groups in leadership roles in the United States,

01:34:58.620 from 29% to 35% in five years.

01:35:03.720 Black people comprise 10% of McDonald's senior level management,

01:35:07.820 higher than the 7% reported by other restaurant chains.

01:35:12.180 Now, what is the population percent of black in the general population?

01:35:20.040 12?

01:35:21.000 Yeah.

01:35:21.560 13?

01:35:22.220 So they're 10.

01:35:23.100 So they're doing close.

01:35:26.020 I mean, you know, you get it from 10, 15, then that would be normal.

01:35:32.620 Because unless you're trying to do something where you're not looking at merit,

01:35:38.640 because you should pretty much be able to say,

01:35:43.180 I've got statistically the representation of the country.

01:35:47.440 Sure.

01:35:48.220 You know, and I'm not trying to balance it that way.

01:35:50.740 It's just that, you know, they're good people of all races.

01:35:54.240 And this is 11% of the population.

01:35:57.260 And maybe we have a little bit more because maybe some of our, you know,

01:36:01.880 our franchisees are, you know, grew up in that neighborhood or whatever it is.

01:36:07.820 I would, I would, I would venture to say that anything more than that might be.

01:36:16.280 Very racist.

01:36:19.480 Racist.

01:36:20.340 Were you about to say racism?

01:36:21.840 Because I know, I know that that's, that can't work that way.

01:36:25.340 For example, we hear a lot about the racism in the NFL because they only have like

01:36:30.540 something like 15% of their coaches are black, which of course is racist.

01:36:36.940 Somehow.

01:36:38.280 Of course, they don't tend to focus on the jobs that, you know,

01:36:42.280 everyone wants from childhood to play in the NFL.

01:36:46.520 How a country with 13% African-American population fills up over 70% of the jobs that everyone 0.99

01:36:53.400 wants in the NFL.

01:36:54.720 No one ever seems to think that's racist.

01:36:56.520 I certainly don't think it's racist.

01:36:58.680 I think it's a merit-based job.

01:37:00.720 But for some reason, everyone seems to think that's totally normal.

01:37:05.660 As if, I don't know, black people are inherently better at this multi-million dollar job than 1.00

01:37:12.720 white people are, no one sees any racism in that implication.

01:37:17.240 However, when coaches are just the representation level of society, that's a crime against humanity.

01:37:25.060 I've got to shut you down.

01:37:26.080 Making sure I understand the rules, that's all.

01:37:27.920 I'm trying to, I'm trying to be less white. 0.98

01:37:30.100 And you are clearly going in the opposite direction.

01:37:32.240 You know, you've shed some white today.

01:37:34.080 You are never.

01:37:34.360 And I've absorbed the white. 0.89

01:37:35.720 You are never going to work at McDonald's or Coca-Cola.

01:37:38.540 Coca-Cola, you never will work there.

01:37:41.220 So take that, put that in your, put that in your pipe, Mr. Snottier and holier than thou.

01:37:47.640 Yeah.

01:37:48.160 I will say with much of the product I'd be stealing.

01:37:50.360 They don't want me working there anyway.

01:37:55.380 I saw a story in the Wall Street Journal today.

01:37:58.000 The money boom is already here.

01:38:02.680 Wow.

01:38:03.280 This is, this is really great.

01:38:04.720 Wait, apparently the money supply, how much, how much do you think is increased in the last year?

01:38:11.380 Probably like a half a percent.

01:38:13.160 A half a percent.

01:38:13.760 Something like that.

01:38:14.120 No, seriously.

01:38:15.120 Out of all the money that we have printed, how much more did we print in the last 12 months?

01:38:22.440 I mean, I have no idea.

01:38:25.600 26%.

01:38:26.000 26% more money.

01:38:29.320 And that's before the $1.9 trillion bill.

01:38:32.140 And everything else that we've done.

01:38:33.680 Okay.

01:38:34.020 26%.

01:38:34.900 That's the largest one-year jump since 1943.

01:38:39.680 Ah.

01:38:40.700 What happened then?

01:38:41.660 Anything happen then?

01:38:42.800 Yeah.

01:38:43.120 It was a nuclear, nuclear bomb.

01:38:45.180 Oh.

01:38:45.760 Oh my gosh.

01:38:46.660 Yeah.

01:38:47.100 Anyway, the money boom is here, according to the Wall Street Journal.

01:38:50.180 And the story goes on.

01:38:51.400 It just blabs for a while.

01:38:52.680 And it's like, it's going to, you know, really devalue the money.

01:38:55.900 And something about your dollar being worth less.

01:38:58.500 Or, I didn't read all of it.

01:39:00.180 I just thought more money.

01:39:01.220 That's great.

01:39:03.060 May I suggest, holding dollars, everything you have in dollars, might not be the best idea.

01:39:11.460 Trade some of those dollars for gold.

01:39:14.020 It's easy.

01:39:14.940 Protect your retirement portfolio today before it's too late.

01:39:18.380 I believe that you should have 10% of what you have in gold.

01:39:25.580 That's just a good rule of thumb.

01:39:28.120 Now, your IRA, it can all be done with Goldline.

01:39:31.820 And you can allocate some of your retirement portfolio into precious metals.

01:39:37.020 It's prudent.

01:39:37.820 It is wise.

01:39:39.320 Nobody is saying, put everything into it.

01:39:41.480 That's absurd.

01:39:42.180 Now, Goldline is offering 6% in promotional metals delivered directly to you with a qualifying purchase for your self-directed IRA or your 401k or other retirement accounts.

01:39:55.500 Don't wait.

01:39:56.540 Please hedge your bet against the money inflation that is coming.

01:40:02.980 866-GOLDLINE.

01:40:04.340 1-866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.

01:40:07.840 10 seconds.

01:40:08.400 Station ID.

01:40:12.180 Man, I'm just trying so hard to not be white. 0.97

01:40:26.740 Hey, by the way, nearly a third of Americans want to break up the United States into like-minded countries.

01:40:34.940 Now, this is a new poll out.

01:40:37.020 They found a shocking percentage of Americans are in favor of the dissolution of the United States of America.

01:40:44.860 According to a new survey, nearly a third of Americans want to break it up and create smaller like-minded countries.

01:40:53.080 Some people say the divisions within our country have grown so deep that we would be better off dividing into more like-minded regions that would govern themselves separately.

01:41:03.840 Do you support or oppose the idea of dividing the United States into more than one nation?

01:41:10.000 29%, 10% strongly, 19% somewhat, agreed.

01:41:17.200 They were in favor.

01:41:18.880 Noticeable differences based on political lines and geography, surprisingly.

01:41:23.800 37% of independents were the ones most likely to secede or divide the country.

01:41:31.520 35% of Republicans wanted to secede, followed by 21% of Democrats who wanted their own country of like-minded individuals.

01:41:40.920 Now, I can guarantee you that Republican and Democrats, those would have flipped had Donald Trump won the election.

01:41:47.300 All these polls wind up being affected by who's president.

01:41:51.040 So, Stu, see if this rings an old bell.

01:41:55.920 So, the proposal now is to divide the U.S. into five regional unions based on geography and political affiliation.

01:42:09.580 The Pacific, California, Washington, Oregon, Hawaii, and Alaska.

01:42:14.540 Mountain, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico.

01:42:20.680 The South, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee.

01:42:29.820 Then the Heartland and the Northeast.

01:42:33.340 Gee, I'm trying to remember.

01:42:34.880 We'll have to check back on this tomorrow.

01:42:37.400 Who was it that said we were going to break up in five regions?

01:42:44.580 A hint, it wasn't me.

01:42:47.280 Although I've been saying it, I've been reporting on something for almost 20 years.

01:42:53.980 Tomorrow's broadcast, don't miss it.

01:42:58.780 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:43:03.000 Psst, I got a deal for you.

01:43:04.880 Don't tell nobody, okay?

01:43:06.300 But I got a dose of the COVID vaccine right here in my back pocket.

01:43:10.460 It's got your name on it, see?

01:43:13.040 All's I need.

01:43:14.260 And it's just a formality, you understand.

01:43:16.860 I'm going to need your bank account number and your password.

01:43:19.580 No big deal.

01:43:20.400 I mean, I'm with the government.

01:43:24.060 You get this totally legitimate, not bogus vaccine at all.

01:43:28.180 That is, I'm a cyber criminal.

01:43:30.160 I'm a crime guy now?

01:43:32.780 Because I'm offering you vaccines?

01:43:36.080 Yeah.

01:43:36.580 It's important to know that with COVID going around, cyber crime and identity theft has increased exponentially.

01:43:44.860 Nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor all businesses and transactions.

01:43:49.920 But they can help you keep what's yours, yours.

01:44:51.920 Hi, Carlin.

01:44:52.580 How are you?

01:44:53.740 I'm doing well, Glenn.

01:44:55.100 Thanks for having me back.

01:44:56.160 So you made some headlines over the weekend.

01:44:59.720 And you are the one who wrote the first post about Coca-Cola.

01:45:05.340 Tell me how this happened and what happened.

01:45:09.980 Yeah.

01:45:10.640 So on Friday, well, let me back up one day.

01:45:13.080 On Thursday, Coca-Cola sent out an email to its employees about this diversity training program

01:45:19.740 that they were implementing in which they said a specific course of programming was required.

01:45:25.760 Now, the very next day, I got an email from a whistleblower at the company

01:45:29.360 who had been talking with their team members and all of them were incredibly uncomfortable

01:45:33.820 about this specific training that told them to try to be less white.

01:45:39.620 And so one of them was very brave and he has watched my videos on YouTube and reached out

01:45:44.140 to me and provided me evidence of the training.

01:45:46.620 And I posted it on Twitter, frankly, not really expecting it to get the reception that it did

01:45:52.100 because I feel like I've been screaming about these training programs for the better part

01:45:55.700 of a year.

01:45:56.200 But thankfully, a lot of people took notice and it's really gotten a lot of attention.

01:46:01.640 Now, Coca-Cola has done some really disturbing things.

01:46:04.740 They are all in on the Great Reset and the ESGs, which people need to watch for ESG, environmental,

01:46:13.460 social and governmental standards.

01:46:15.880 So the social part is like critical race.

01:46:19.080 It is social justice.

01:46:21.240 The environmental piece is is the Green New Deal.

01:46:26.380 And these companies are resetting and Coca-Cola has been on the forefront of it.

01:46:32.500 If you look into Coca-Cola's online presence and what they say, their bottling company in Europe

01:46:40.280 actually justifies, says, in order for us to justify our business license, we do X, Y and Z.

01:46:50.900 And when did we have to start justifying a business license?

01:46:55.900 I mean, you have to be within the parameters, but now you have to do social work.

01:47:00.380 You have to do training on critical race theory, et cetera, et cetera, to, quote, justify your business license.

01:47:07.700 They're just ahead of the the the rest of these corporations, I think.

01:47:12.820 Well, maybe, but I actually think that the questions at play here are much bigger than Coca-Cola.

01:47:18.080 You know, a lot of people have been calling for a boycott of Coca-Cola since the news broke.

01:47:21.720 And while I think that's all fine, well and good, the reality is that this training exists on LinkedIn Learning.

01:47:27.980 And what that means is that there are probably thousands of other companies out there

01:47:32.700 that are having employees do this very same training.

01:47:36.760 And we already know that there are there are employees from some of the biggest companies in the world

01:47:41.360 that are actually taking this training as we speak.

01:47:44.060 So for my money, I think that the story about Coke is interesting just because it's a really large company.

01:47:49.160 But the the the the amount of companies that are already doing this

01:47:53.200 and the amount of money that Robin DiAngelo is making convincing white people that they are racist is the real story here.

01:48:00.720 So tell me what she was teaching. Coca-Cola came out and said, no, no, no, no.

01:48:06.320 That's stuffed on that stuff on LinkedIn.

01:48:09.040 That wasn't the focus of the training.

01:48:14.120 That's how they tried to deny it and say that, no, no, we weren't doing any of that.

01:48:18.160 What were they doing?

01:48:19.480 Well, I also think it's worth noting that you're you're quoting Coca-Cola's first statement

01:48:24.580 that was procured by the Blaze, but they actually came out with a second statement a couple hours later,

01:48:29.560 which says, oh, no, no, we weren't having our employees do this specific training at all.

01:48:33.620 So they went from confirmation to denial within a couple hours.

01:48:37.880 But I mean, this is this is very typical Robin DiAngelo training.

01:48:41.280 It's teaching white people that they are every negative, every negative thing in the book.

01:48:46.880 And what it's actually doing is Robin DiAngelo's biggest grievances are, frankly,

01:48:51.940 with people who are presenting a self-empowerment that she feels uncomfortable with.

01:48:57.020 It's when people, you know, aren't afraid to express themselves, aren't afraid to stand up for what they believe in.

01:49:02.240 It's a very specific type of communication style that she seems to have the most grievances with. 0.99

01:49:06.520 And she's labeling that as all white people, which, of course, is not the case at all.

01:49:12.720 And in fact, I'll tell you this.

01:49:14.380 The whistleblower that reached out to me is not white in any way, shape or form.

01:49:19.700 And they were still uncomfortable with the specific training.

01:49:23.460 So there are so many people that I know.

01:49:26.020 I have friends in in so many different businesses in big companies from, you know,

01:49:31.880 from financial houses to lawyers, to architects, to show people.

01:49:40.400 And they are they're all saying they're going through these trainings.

01:49:44.440 And I've asked them, so what are you doing about it?

01:49:48.180 We just shut up.

01:49:49.740 I said that that's possibly the worst thing you can do.

01:49:53.520 And they're like, I don't want to lose my job, Glenn.

01:49:56.400 And I honestly don't know who's on my side.

01:49:59.040 I know a couple of people that we kind of look at each other during the meetings,

01:50:02.320 but I don't know who's shutting their mouth and who feels like this is the right thing to do.

01:50:07.860 And I'll lose my job.

01:50:09.820 What should people do?

01:50:12.280 Yeah, I mean, it is a sticky situation to be in, because even if you ask questions about these trainings,

01:50:17.260 you are at very real risk of losing your job.

01:50:19.380 But I'll tell you this, what I'm trying to do right now is actually I'm working on getting critical race theory banned in state agencies

01:50:26.500 and in state contractors at a state level in New Hampshire.

01:50:29.800 There is actually a bill right now.

01:50:31.920 I just testified for it last week in the New Hampshire House of Representatives called HB 544,

01:50:37.020 which would ban state money being spent on this type of training.

01:50:40.680 And I actually know from the whistleblowers at Koch that when President Trump issued his executive order

01:50:45.780 that banned this at a federal level, Koch actually put the pause on it for a minute.

01:50:50.200 And they brought it back after Biden rescinded the executive order on his first day.

01:50:54.740 So I think the very best thing people can do right now is reach out to your state representatives.

01:50:59.500 Try to get this banned on a state level in state agencies and in state government contractors.

01:51:04.440 And that'll go a long way.

01:51:05.860 I think we also need some sort of a lawyer action group that can give people advice or represent people.

01:51:17.320 I mean, I can't believe that if you object to a you have to be less white. 0.85

01:51:24.420 I can't believe that you're going to lose in a court of law.

01:51:28.760 Well, it's funny because I don't know if you've been following the story of Jody Shaw,

01:51:32.860 who was a whistleblower at Smith College, but she just resigned over like last week 1.00

01:51:38.220 in reference to the same type of thing happening at Smith College.

01:51:41.660 And she filed complaints with their HR offices.

01:51:44.700 And what she was told was civil rights laws aren't written to protect people who look like you.

01:51:52.120 Wow. I'd love to see that tested in court because if that's true, we're done as a nation.

01:52:01.080 Yeah. You mentioned that that people that who the person who reached out to you was not white with the Coca-Cola thing.

01:52:07.640 I think it's fascinating. And that like how important in the turnaround of this nonsense is it for people who are not white to step up and say this is wrong? 0.58

01:52:18.920 Because that's got to be a crucial part of the momentum to turn this around.

01:52:22.620 It's all white people talking about. Right. Exactly. Martin Luther King had a lot of white pastors and yeah, a lot of people.

01:52:29.780 Yeah. Yeah. I think it's critical to the operation because how this is usually framed is that the reason the white people speak up is that they're scared or they're fragile or any of these things.

01:52:39.660 And that's simply not the case. So I think that everyone who is this should not be a black or white or brown issue.

01:52:45.940 This shouldn't even be a Democrat versus Republican issue, quite frankly. If you are opposed to racism, you should be opposed to things like this.

01:52:53.620 And I have to tell you, some of the feedback I've received from black people has been, well, Carlin, we were told to be less black in the workplace for years.

01:53:01.000 And that's very valid. But that's also wrong and racist. That shouldn't be happening either.

01:53:06.180 And if you're against that type of racism, then you should be against this as well.

01:53:09.960 So tell me the problem with critical race theory to me and this anti-racist thing is its objective is to employ reverse racism.

01:53:22.620 The only way to cure it is to punish those of another race and to have this reverse racism, which is an incredible goal to have. 0.99

01:53:37.300 So they admit that that's what they're trying to do. Correct or not correct?

01:53:42.360 Yeah, that's that's exactly correct. Yeah. The goal of critical race theory is that racism exists everywhere.

01:53:48.880 And it says that white people put these systems in place in order to maintain power. 0.51

01:53:53.080 And the only way to get rid of racism is to, you know, bring bring the white people down a level, essentially.

01:53:58.740 So how do you argue with somebody who says, well, how can you disagree that white people wrote the rules and this country was founded by a bunch of white people? 0.54

01:54:08.940 Well, I would say, yeah, it was founded by a bunch of white people.

01:54:12.820 But this country has been all about progress and creating a more perfect union.

01:54:17.040 I mean, the founders of this country were not perfect men, but they were good men and they were trying to do the right thing.

01:54:22.240 And even when Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, it was very obvious that he was uncomfortable with slavery and was trying to build mechanisms in to get slavery, you know, to be outlawed in the future.

01:54:34.240 And so I think that, you know, we are not a perfect country, but we get better and better and better all the time.

01:54:39.380 And these policies are simply regressing us back to a place that is that was even before the civil rights movement in this country.

01:54:46.880 It makes absolutely no sense. And I just don't think the people continuing them have thought about what the end goal is.

01:54:54.560 They don't they don't take into consideration that when Robin DiAngelo says all white people are racist, well, guess what?

01:55:00.160 She means you, too. And she means the CEOs of all these companies.

01:55:03.240 And if the goal is to destroy white privilege, well, that means all of your institutions are going to get tear down, torn down in the process.

01:55:10.900 And so what does that really leave us with? I don't think that leaves us much to build on.

01:55:15.740 There are very real and valid questions about race in this country, but this is not the way to fix it.

01:55:22.000 I can't believe you ever that you were ever thinking that you were, you know, liberal or progressive.

01:55:31.520 I can't believe it. To hear you quote Thomas Jefferson and our founders.

01:55:35.480 I'm just so happy and and proud to be your friend. Proud to be your friend.

01:55:40.560 Oh, well, thank you, Glenn. And I have to tell you, it's been a little over a year since I went to that Trump rally.

01:55:45.960 I do. I do consider myself a liberal, but I think that I consider myself a liberal in the way that, you know, I'm a thinker.

01:55:52.800 I like. Yeah. Classical liberal. I'm a classic liberal.

01:55:56.100 I refuse to modify it with that term, though, because I think that the word liberal gets a bad rap and and I want to take it back.

01:56:03.380 Yeah. Good for you. Good for you.

01:56:05.140 Carlin, thank you so much. Carlin Borisenko. More in just a second.

01:56:10.560 Sherry lives in Michigan. She used to have pain in her hips. 0.97

01:56:14.680 It was so bad she could barely get out of bed.

01:56:16.880 She spent most of her day not getting up and would frequently drive her to tears.

01:56:22.660 Thankfully, her husband took the time to start researching things to help, you know, help her.

01:56:27.740 Anything, anything.

01:56:29.680 He eventually landed on relief factor.

01:56:31.580 He suggested she give it a try. And of course, she said, yes, she had nothing to lose except for her pain.

01:56:36.100 She said once she started taking it, it didn't take very long to see the results.

01:56:41.180 Literally five days after taking it, she started noticing that her pain was severely diminished.

01:56:47.780 Shortly after that, she was completely out of pain.

01:56:50.600 These days, she has no problem getting around.

01:56:53.580 Sherry got her life back.

01:56:55.280 And so could you.

01:56:57.360 Please try it. Relief Factor.

01:57:13.760 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:57:20.900 We were just talking to Carlin Borisenko about this training that companies are doing now to be anti-racist.

01:57:28.640 That is so racist in and of itself and how important it is for African-Americans or Hispanics to stand up and go, this is not the world I want. 1.00

01:57:39.440 And, you know, and it's going to be hard because people have been told be less black at work.

01:57:46.100 You want to be successful?

01:57:47.060 Be less black. 1.00

01:57:48.520 Now, I think that was wrong when it was said.

01:57:51.960 And I don't, I mean, I don't think that's true now.

01:57:56.660 It might be in some, I mean, if you're in a bank or, you know, and you're like, yo, yo, yo, dog.

01:58:03.640 Okay, maybe.

01:58:04.520 Right.

01:58:04.780 Eminem should also be told to wear a suit at his bank if that's where he's working.

01:58:08.860 If you're walking down the street and you have a bunch of people all tatted up and they look like thugs, like Eminem, and they're all white, and you cross the street as they're coming for you, you're not racist.

01:58:25.880 You're probably just, you know, stereotyping.

01:58:28.660 They could all be missionaries.

01:58:29.900 You don't know, but why risk it?

01:58:31.600 And the same could be said, if you do cross the street and you, because you see a bunch of black men that are wearing suits or all dressed nicely or whatever, you are a racist if you cross the street. 0.81

01:58:44.300 If you're crossing the street because of a bunch of African-American bankers walking your way, then yes, you're probably a racist.

01:58:49.340 And it's the same, I mean, I had that guy on, that white guy from Canada, the rapper, what was his name?

01:58:54.520 We had him on a couple of weeks ago.

01:58:56.160 All tatted up, has, you know, nose rings and eye piercings and all kinds of stuff.

01:59:01.520 And I said to him, you look like a skinhead.

01:59:05.880 You look like somebody that I want to stay way away from.

01:59:10.940 That's not who he is.

01:59:12.660 How did he take that?

01:59:13.680 Did he take it well?

01:59:14.520 Yeah, he actually did.

01:59:15.640 He actually did.

01:59:16.420 And he's like, I know, I know.

01:59:18.600 But am I, if he was another color, he happened to be white.

01:59:23.800 Right.

01:59:24.240 If he was another color, I couldn't say that to him.

01:59:27.760 And the same people who will tell you, like, that's what white people do. 0.68

01:59:31.280 They cross the street when black people come nearby are the same people like AOC who will say they thought the Capitol Police were there to hurt them when they showed up to rescue them in the middle of the January 6th thing.

01:59:44.860 Right.

01:59:45.460 Like we, you know, it's, you know, it is the old school definition of racism to say if a bunch of black guys who are bankers in suits walking towards you, if you cross the street, you're racist. 0.55

01:59:58.740 That's old school, though.

01:59:59.600 That's not Robin DiAngelo.

02:00:00.900 Robin DiAngelo is not saying she's what she would say is, well, look in the look in the nearest store window.

02:00:06.040 And if the reflection is white, then, yes, you're a racist.

02:00:09.400 That's her definition.

02:00:10.960 That's an old that's a new thing.

02:00:13.060 And, no, it was the oldest kind of thing out there.

02:00:16.660 The Klan made a lot of money.

02:00:19.200 Yeah.

02:00:19.580 I mean, it is.

02:00:20.180 It's just pure racism is what it is.

02:00:21.960 But I mean, it is.

02:00:22.600 It's signing negative characteristics to a group of people based on skin color.

02:00:26.660 Hard to figure out how that's not racism.

02:00:29.020 But every store you walk in is telling its employees that this is the right way to go.

02:00:36.240 And I what we were just talking about and like it's really, really important that people of color come out and say this is idiotic. 0.90

02:00:45.900 It's if white people can rail about it all day long.

02:00:48.120 It means very little when people come out.

02:00:50.560 And this is an identity politics world.

02:00:52.660 It was the Christians. 0.93

02:00:53.720 It was the Jews. 0.99

02:00:54.820 It was the RFKs of the world. 0.99

02:00:57.380 It was the brave white people that helped Martin Luther King break this barrier.

02:01:05.740 You have to have a very diverse group to be able to stop this kind of nonsense.

02:01:13.320 Stand together.

02:01:14.920 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
